Give an overview for the oxidative breakdown of a six-carbon, saturated fatty acid. Decide how the fatty acid enters mitochondria, and write the reaction by which it gets activated. Write the four reactions of the b-oxidation pathway. Indicate in which cellular compartment the reactions take place. Use structural formulas for the reactions except for cofactors, ATP, etc. Name the enzyme for each reaction.
