Structure and Function in Plant Ä12 Fatty Acid Desaturases and Acetylenases

Structure and Function in Plant Ä12 Fatty Acid Desaturases and Acetylenases

This study provides insight into the structure/function relationship between desaturases and acetylenases, and indicates amino acid residues within acetylenases which influence reaction outcome. <i>Oleate desaturases</i> belong to a family of enzymes capable of introducing cis double bon...
