Coenzyme A, S-(hydrogen 2-methylpropanedioate) - Introduction
Methylmalonyl-coenzyme A(methylmalonyl-coenzyme A) is an important compound that participates in A key step in the pyruvate metabolic pathway in organisms. The following is a description of the properties, uses, methods and safety information of methylmalonyl-CoA:
Nature:
-chemical formula: C27H40N7O18P3S
-Molecular weight: 867.61g/mol
-Appearance: colorless crystal or powder
-Solubility: Soluble in water and other polar solvents
Use:
The main role of methylmalonyl-coenzyme A in organisms is to participate in the carboxylation reaction in the pyruvate metabolic pathway, converting methylmalonyl-coenzyme A into malonyl-coenzyme A. This process is important for energy metabolism and fatty acid synthesis in the body.
Method:
Methylmalonyl-CoA can be synthesized in two steps. First, methylmalonic acid, a precursor of methylmalonyl-CoA, needs to be synthesized. Methylmalonic acid can be obtained by bacterial or fungal fermentation. Then, methylmalonic acid reacts with coenzyme A under the catalysis of the enzyme to form methylmalonyl coenzyme A.
