Wood that I Could

Mechanisms and principles associated with organic and biochemistry; just remember that a grain of salt or two should be taken with each bite:) Each post will have a brief introduction to the purpose of the post, and THERE WILL BE AN AUDIOVISUAL TUTORIAL CORRESPONDING to the the theme. Just click on the link:) Also, I couldn't figure out how to reverse the order to oldest to newest, so you have to go from the bottom of the page to start at the beginning. GOOD LUCK ON YOUR EXAMS!!!

Dealing with a double bond on an odd carbon...

The mitochondrian in these myocytes is one cell type
that metabolizes fatty acids--including odd ones:)

When metabolizing a fatty acid with a double bond that is on the gamma carbon instead of the beta carbon, there will be an isomerase enzyme that causes a shift of the double bond so that you can continue to oxidize the beta carbon.
