Question
Chapter 26, Problem 39P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA (HMG CoA) takes part in the production of cholesterol. Another pathway that involves the HMG CoA should be determined. Also, the factor that influences the pathway should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Cholesterol is a type of steroid. Cholesterol production starts with the help of Acetyl CoA (substrate as fatty acid synthesis). The steps for the biosynthesis of cholesterol are the formation of isoprene units, squalene formation and the cyclization of squalene.

HO.
Hexanoic acid is a 6-carbon saturated fatty acid found in goat's milk. Hexanoic acid also contributes to the "barnyard" smell of goats.
Fun fact: Hexanoic acid is also known as caproic acid. The name "caproic" is derived from the Latin word "caper", which means goat.
What is the balanced equation for complete beta oxidation of hexanoyl-COA to acetyl-CoA shown below (ignore H20 and H+):
O Hexanoyl-COA + 3COA + 3FAD + 3NAD+ -------> 3 acetyl-COA + 3 FADH2 +3 NADH
O Hexanoyl-CoA + 2COA + 2FAD + 2NAD+
--> 3 acetyl-CoA + 2 FADH2 + 2 NADH
O Hexanoyl-CoA + 1COA + 1FAD + 1NAD+
--> 2 acetyl-CoA + 1 FADH2 +1 NADH
O Hexanoyl-COA + 6COA + 6FAD + 6NAD+ --------> 6 acetyl-CoA.+ 6 FADH2 + 6 NADH
None of the above
