The emphasis is rather on the unity of mechanism and the economy of enzymic species by which the vast array of naturally occurring unsaturated fatty acid molecules are produced.doi:10.1042/bj1280003PbM.I. GURRBiochemistry of LipidsGurr, M.I. (1974) The Biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids. ...
Unsaturated fatty acids are essential for the proliferation of many haematopoietic cells, but little is known about their biosynthetic pathways in these cells. We have studied the activity of the main desaturation-elongation enzymes in human B-(Reh-6, Raji, Ramos) and T-(CEM, Jurkat) lymphocytic...
A supplement of unsaturated fatty acids during anaerobic growth causes a several-fold greater velocity of the enzyme induction and of sterol biosynthesis. Linolenic acid (30 渭M) accelerated sterol biosynthesis about 7-fold. Activities of galactokinase and galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase, which...

The presence of diverse terpenoids and abundant polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in this organ contributes to its broad range of pharmacological properties. Despite its medicinal and economic importance, the knowledge on the biosynthesis of terpenoid a...
This chapter discusses the biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids. All organisms, with the exception of anaerobic bacteria, form unsaturated fatty acids by direct introduction of a double bond into the hydrocarbon chain of a preformed fatty acid, whether it be saturated, monounsaturated, or polyunsatu...
