One of the key components in fatty acid synthesis is acetoacetyl‑ACP, which is formed from a Claisen condensation of a fatty acid thioester (acetyl synthase, simplified here) with the enolate formed from the decarboxylation of malonyl ACP. The given steps show the first round of this elongation. Draw a curved arrow mechanism to show how these reactions give acetoacetyl‑ACP.

- Prostaglandins are a class of eicosanoids, fatty acid derivatives with a variety of extremely potent actions on vertebrate tissues. They are responsible for producing fever and inflammation and its associated pain. Prostaglandins are derived from the 20- carbon fatty acid arachidonic acid in a reaction catalyzed by the enzyme prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase. This enzyme, a cyclooxygenase, uses oxygen to convert arachidonic acid to PGG2, the immediate precursor of many different prostaglandins. Rate of formation of PGG2 with 10 mg/ml ibuprofen (mM/min) Arachidonic acid (mM) Rate of formation of PGG2 (mM/min) 0.190 12.3 0.228 13.9 0.342 17.5 0.570 1.33 22.2 28.8 7.71 8.88 11.9 16.3 24.0 The kinetic data given in the table are for the reaction catalyzed by a mutant of prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase.

One of its functions is to detoxify poisonous HO-containing compounds by reacting with them in the liver to form glucuronides. Glucuronides are water soluble and, therefore, readily excreted. After ingestion of a poison such as turpentine or phenol, the glucuronides of these compounds are found in urine. Draw the structure of the glucuronide formed by the reaction of beta-d-glucuronic acid and phenol.arrow_forwardd-Glucuronic acid is found widely in plants and animals.
