Abstract excerpt
The acyl-CoA dehydrogenases (ACDs) are a family of flavoenzymes involved in the metabolism of fatty acids and branched-chain amino acids. The ACDs share a similar structure and a common dehydrogenation mechanism in which a catalytic glutamate extracts a proton from an acyl-CoA substrate. The resulting charge-transfer complex subsequently passes electrons to electron-transferring flavoprotein (ETF). We previously...
