Abstract excerpt
Carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 (CPT1) catalyzes the conversion of palmitoyl-CoA to palmitoylcarnitine in the presence of l-carnitine, thus facilitating the entry of fatty acids to mitochondria, in a process that is physiologically inhibited by malonyl-CoA. To examine the mechanism of CPT1 liver isoform (CPT1A) inhibition by malonyl-CoA, we constructed an in silico model of both its NH2- and COOH-terminal...
