Abstract excerpt
The acyl-CoA dehydrogenases are a family of flavin adenine dinucleotide-containing enzymes that catalyze the first step in the beta-oxidation of fatty acids and catabolism of some amino acids. They exhibit high sequence identity and yet are quite specific in their substrate binding. Short chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase has maximal activity toward butyryl-CoA and negligible activity toward substrates longer than...
