We see a similar reaction in the pathway some bacteria and archaea use to turn carbon dioxide into food. This pathway is called the "acetyl-CoA" or "Wood-Ljungdahl" pathway. It is proposed to be ...

The mechanism observed in the experiments, known as the reverse water-gas shift reaction, bears a striking resemblance to the acetyl-CoA pathway utilized by certain bacteria and archaea.

During beta-oxidation, fatty acid molecules are broken down by removing two-carbon units from the carboxyl end of a fatty acid molecule to produce acetyl-CoA.

The first reaction in the 3-hydroxypropionate carbon dioxide-fixation cycle is the carboxylation of acetyl-CoA; the carbon dioxide acceptor is then regenerated in a cyclic process, with 3 ...

Then again, they are social hornets, and heavy drinking may be part of their party culture. Ha ha. It’s not only humans who ...

SLC25A1 drives citrate export from the mitochondria to the cytosol, where it fuels acetyl-CoA synthesis by ATP citrate lyase (ACLY). This acetyl-CoA supply sustains FSP1 acetylation and prevents its ...

Note that the oxidative fate of pyruvate is to be irreversibly decarboxylated to acetyl CoA. This reaction is catalysed by PDC, a series of linked enzymes located in the inner mitochondrial membrane ...
