Abstract excerpt
Genetic defects affecting acyl-CoA dehydrogenases (ACAD)-key enzymes in the degradation of fatty acids and branched chain amino acids-are increasingly recognized as being more widespread than originally thought. For the medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD), the K304E mutation is the most common genetic defect among Caucasian populations. The effect of substrate or substrate analog binding on the stability...
