A one-step protocol for the difluoromethylation of carboxylic acids is described. The reaction involves the interaction of intermediate acyl chlorides with in situ generated difluorinated phosphorus ...

Acyl carrier protein (ACP) plays a central role in fatty acid biosynthesis, acting as a molecular "shuttle" that carries, ...

Human metabolism is a complex web of chemical processes and interactions between our cells and the microbes living within us. The more scientists can identify and classify the molecules involved in ...

This paper reports on a correlation between diminished cardiolipin content and the severity of steatohepatitis in human subjects. This is supported further by experimental evidence from mice in which ...

Coconut water, milk, fruit juices, and smoothies are high in electrolytes. Drinks with electrolytes may help you rehydrate after intense exercise, vomiting, or diarrhea. You can also make your own ...

Short chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (SCAD) is a homotetrameric flavoenzyme that catalyzes the first intramitochondrial step in the β-oxidation of fatty acids. Two polymorphisms in the coding region of ...
