Question 1

what is the reaction to form malonyl CoA

Answer 1

7Acetyl CoA + 7CO2 + 7ATP –> 7Malonyl CoA + 7ADP + 7Pi + 7H+

Question 2

what is the synthesis reaction of palmitate

Answer 2

Acetyl CoA + 7MalonylCoA + 14NADPH + 7H+ –> Palmitate + 7CO2 + 14NADP+ + 8CoA + 6H2O (make 7 water but use one in the chain termination)

Question 3

what is the overall reaction

Answer 3

8Acetyl CoA + 7ATP + 14NADPH –> Palmitate + 14NADP+ + 8CoA + 6H2O + 7ADP + 7Pi
