Lipids biosynthesis
This document discusses lipids and their biosynthesis. It begins by defining lipids and classifying them into fats, waxes, cholesterol and steroids. It then describes the structure of fatty acids and how they are classified by double bond content. The document outlines the biological functions of lipids and the pathways of catabolism and anabolism. It provides an overview of fatty acid synthesis, including the roles of malonyl-CoA and the acyl carrier protein. The document also discusses regulation of fatty acid synthesis and how other fatty acids are derived.
