Enzyme Structure and Function

Fatty acid synthase of animal tissue is a multifunctional enzyme comprised of two identical subunits, each containing seven partial activities and a site for the prosthetic group, 4'-phosphopantetheine (acyl carrier protein).We have recently isolated cDNA clones of chicken fatty acid synthase coding for the dehydratase, enoyl reductase, @-ketoacyl reductase, acyl carrier protein, and thioesterase domains (Chirala, s. s.,
