Plants synthesise a huge variety of fatty acids although only a few are major and common constituents . Broadly speaking, long-chain fatty acids are synthesised de novo from small precursors ultimately derived from photosynthate.
1.FATTY ACID SYNTHESIS FOR MBBS, LABORATORY MEDICINEAND BDS.pptRajendra Dev Bhatt
Lipid metabolism is the processing of lipids for energy use, energy storage, and structural component (Cholesterol & lipoproteins) production. Lipids are digested by lipase enzymes in the GI tract (with the help of bile acids) and are absorbed directly through the cell membrane. Free fatty acids are then resynthesized into triacylglycerols (TAGs) in the enterocytes. Finally, lipid components are repackaged into chylomicrons and transported throughout the body for use or storage.
explains the palmitate synthesis- which is most common FA stored in Adipose tissue , elongation system and Desaturation system, compares oxidation with synthesis.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. De novo synthesis of fatty acids occurs in liver,
kidney, adipose tissue & lactating mammary
gland.
Enzymes are located in cytosomal fraction of
the cell.
It is called as extramitochondrial or
cytoplasmic fatty acid synthase system.
3. Major fatty acid synthesized de novo is
palmitic acid (16C saturated fatty acid).
It occurs in liver, adipose tissue, kidney, brain
& lactating mammary glands.
Acetyl CoA is the source of carbon atoms.
4. NADPH provides reducing equivalents –
NADPH is produced from HMP shunt & malic
enzyme reaction.
Every molecule of acetyl CoA delivered to
cytoplasm, one molecule of NADPH is
formed.
ATP supplies energy.
5. Production of acetyl CoA & NADPH
Conversion of acetyl CoA to malonyl CoA
Reactions of fatty acid synthase complex.
6. Acetyl CoA is the starting material for de novo
synthesis of fatty acids.
Acetyl CoA is produced in the mitochondria by
the oxidation of pyruvate, fatty acids,
degradation of carbon skeleton of certain
amino acids & from ketone bodies.
Mitochondria are not permeable to acetyl CoA.
7. An alternate or a bypass arrangement is
made for the transfer of acetyl CoA to
cytosol.
Acetyl CoA condenses with oxaloacetate in
mitochondria to form citrate.
Citrate is freely transported to cytosol by
tricarboxylic acid transporter.
8. In cytosol it is cleaved by ATP citrate lyase
to liberate acetyl CoA & oxaloacetate.
Oxaloacetate in the cytosol is converted to
malate.
Malic enzyme converts malate to pyruvate.
NADPH & CO2 are generated in this reaction.
Both of them are utilized for fatty acid
synthesis
10. Advantages of coupled transport of acetyl
CoA & NADPH
The transport of acetyl CoA from
mitochondria to cytosol is coupled with the
cytosomal production of NADPH & CO2 which
is highly advantageous to the cell for
optimum synthesis of fatty acids
11. Acetyl CoA is carboxylated to malonyl CoA by
the enzyme acetyl CoA carboxylase.
This is an ATP-dependent reaction & requires
biotin for CO2 fixation.
The mechanism of action of acetyl CoA
carboxylase is similar to that of pyruvate
carboxylase.
Acetyl CoA carboxylase is a regulatory enzyme

13. Fatty acid synthase (FAS) - multifunctional enzyme.
In eukaryotic cells, fatty acid synthase exists as a
dimer with two identical units.
Each monomer possesses the activities of seven
different enzymes & an acyl carrier protein (ACP)
bound to 4'-phosphopantetheine.
Fatty acid synthase functions as a single unit
catalyzing all the seven reactions.
14. Intermediates of the reaction can easily
interact with the active sites of the enzymes.
One gene codes all the enzymes; all
enzymes are in equimolecular
concentrations.
The efficiency of the process is enhanced.
15. First domain or Condensing unit:
It is initial substrate binding site.
The enzymes involved are β-keto acyl
synthase or condensing enzyme (CE), acetyl
transferase (AT) & malonyl transacylase (MT).
16. It contains the dehydratase (DH), enoyl
reductase (ER), β-keto acyl reductase (KR) &
acyl carrier protein (ACP)
The acyl carrier protein is a polypeptide
chain having a phospho-pantotheine group,
to which acyl groups are attached in
thioester linkage.
ACP acts like CoA carrying fatty acyl groups.
17. It is involved in the release of synthesized
fatty acid in the cytosol.
Major fatty acid synthesized is palmitic acid.
It contains thio-esterase(TE) or de-acylase.
18. The two carbon fragment of acetyl CoA is
transferred to ACP of fatty acid synthase,
catalyzed by the enzyme - acetyl CoA-ACP
transacylase.
The acetyl unit is then transferred from ACP
to cysteine residue of the enzyme.
The ACP site falls vacant.
19. The enzyme malonyl CoA-ACP transacylase
transfers malonate from malonyl CoA to bind
to ACP.
The acetyl unit attached to cysteine is
transferred to malonyl group (bound to ACP).
The malonyl moiety loses CO2 which was
added by acetyl CoA carboxylase.
CO2 is never incorporated into fatty acid
carbon chain.
20. The decarboxylation is accompanied by loss
of free energy which allows the reaction to
proceed forward.
It is catalyzed by β-ketoacyl ACP synthase.
β -Ketoacyl ACP reductase reduces ketoacyl
group to hydroxyacyl group.
The reducing equivalents are supplied by
NADPH.
β -Hydroxyacyl ACP undergoes dehydration.
21. A molecule of water is eliminated & a double
bond is introduced between α & β carbons.
A second NADPH-dependent reduction,
catalysed by enoyl-ACP reductase occurs to
produce acyl-ACP.
The four-carbon unit attached to ACP is
butyryl group.
22. The carbon chain attached to ACP is transferred
to cysteine residue & the reactions of malonyl
CoA-ACP transacylase & enoyl-ACP reductase are
repeated 6 more times.
Each time, the fatty acid chain is lengthened by a
two-carbon unit (obtained from malonyl CoA).
23. At the end of 7 cycles, the fatty acid synthesis
is complete & a 16-carbon fully saturated fatty
acid-namely palmitate-bound to ACP is
produced.
The enzyme palmitoyl thioesterase separates
palmitate from fatty acid synthase.
This completes the synthesis of palmitate

30. It is a multienzyme complex
Fatty acid synthase is a dimer composed of
two identical subunits (monomers),
Each with a molecular weight of 240,000.
Each subunit contains the activities of 7
enzymes of FAS & an ACP with 4'-
phosphopantetheine SH group.
The two subunits lie in antiparallel (head to
tail) orientation
32. The -SH group of phosphopantetheine of one
subunit is in close proximity to the -SH of
cysteine residue (of the enzyme ketoacyl
synthase) of the other subunit.
Each monomer of FAS contains all the
enzyme activities of fatty acid synthesis.
Only the dimer is functionally active.
33. The functional unit consists of half of each
subunit interacting with the complementary
half of the other.
FAS structure has both functional division &
subunit division
The two functional subunits of FAS
independently operate & synthesize two
fatty acids simultaneously
34. The FAS complex offers great efficiency that
is free from interference of other cellular
reactions for the synthesis of fatty acids.
There is a good coordination in the synthesis
of all enzymes of the FAS complex.
35. Fatty acid production is controlled by
enzymes, metabolites, end products,
hormones and dietary manipulations.
Acetyl CoA carboxylase:
This enzyme controls a committed step in
fatty acid synthesis.
36. Acetyl CoA carboxylase exists as an inactive
protomer (monomer) or an active polymer.
Citrate promotes polymer formation &
increases fatty acid synthesis.
Palmitoyl CoA & malonyl CoA cause
depolymerization of the enzyme, inhibits the
fatty acid synthesis.
37. Hormones regulate acetyl CoA carboxylase
by a separate mechanism-phosphorylation
(inactive form) & dephosphorylation (active
form) of the enzyme.
Glucagon, epinephrine & norepinephrine
inactivate the enzyme by cAMP dependent
phosphorylation.
38. Insulin, dephosphorylates & activates the
enzyme.
Insulin promotes fatty acid synthesis while
glucagon inhibits.
Insulin stimulates tissue uptake of glucose &
conversion of pyruvate to acetyl CoA.
This also facilitates fatty acid formation.
39. Consumption of high carbohydrate or fat-free
diet increases the synthesis of acetyl CoA
carboxylase & fatty acid synthase, which
promote fatty acid formation.
Fasting or high fat diet decreases fatty acid
production by reducing the synthesis of acetyl
CoA carboxylase & FAS.
40. The reducing equivalents for fatty acid
synthesis are provided by NADPH which
come either from citrate (acetyl CoA)
transport or hexose monophosphate shunt.
About 50-60% of required NADPH is obtained
from HMP shunt, which significantly
influences fatty acid synthesis
41. Chain elongation can take place either in
mitochondria or in endoplasmic reticulum
(microsomes), by separate mechanism.
The microsomal chain elongation is more
predominant and involves successive
additions of malonyl CoA with the
participation of NADPH.
42. A specific group of enzymes - elongases bring
about fatty acid chain elongation.
The mitochondrial chain elongation is
almost a reversal of β-oxidation of fatty acids.
Acetyl CoA molecules are successively added
to fatty acid to lengthen the chain.
The reducing equivalents are derived from
NADPH.
