Fatty acid synthase (FASN) is a multi-functional enzyme complex responsible for de novo synthesis of long-chain fatty acids. In many malignancies, enhanced expression and activity of FASN support ...

Fatty acid and polyketide biosynthesis share a modular enzymatic architecture that assembles acyl building blocks into complex molecules via successive chain‐elongation and modification reactions. In ...

Humans generally ingest most of their required fatty acids through their diet. Still, fatty acid biosynthesis is a vital metabolic pathway. For yeasts and bacteria, it is even indispensable. Large, ...

Whether they are laundry detergents, mascara, or Christmas chocolate, many everyday products contain fatty acids from palm oil or coconut oil. However, the extraction of these raw materials is ...
