Question
Chapter 19, Problem 14P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The mechanism of malate synthase reaction and the role of CoA in this reaction should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Within enzymology, malate synthesis is known as an enzyme which is used to catalyze the below reactions:
Acetyl-CoA, glyoxylate and H2O are the recognized as the three substrates of this reaction and CoA and malate are the two products.
