Structure of trans-enoyl-CoA.
Trans-enoyl-Coenzyme A (2,3-dehydroacyl-CoA) is an organic structure that distinguishes a group of intermediates of fatty acids β-oxidation. Trans-enoyl-CoA molecules have aliphatic -R chains of different length and saturation depending on the type of metabolised fatty acid. Wiktionary living response
The trans-enoyl-CoA molecule is obtained starting from Acil-CoA by the stereospecific oxidation reaction catalyzed by Acil-CoA dehydrogenase: Acil-CoA + FAD → trans-enoil-CoA + FADH2
Trans enoil-CoA is in turn the substrate of the Enil-CoA hydrate that catalyses the hydration reaction: trans-enoy-CoA + H2O → β-hydroxyacyl-CoA
Hydration is always and only on carbon in β carbonyl. Voices correlateemodify wikitesto
