In chemistry, an acyl group is a moiety derived by the removal of one or more hydroxyl groups from an oxoacid, including inorganic acids. It contains a...

Acyl-CoA is a group of coenzymes that metabolize fatty acids. Acyl-CoA's are susceptible to beta oxidation, forming, ultimately, acetyl-CoA. The acetyl-CoA...

In organic chemistry, an acyl halide (also known as an acid halide) is a chemical compound derived from an oxoacid by replacing a hydroxyl group (−OH)...

example of an acyl chloride is acetyl chloride, CH3COCl. Acyl chlorides are the most important subset of acyl halides. Where the acyl chloride moiety...

overall reaction for one cycle of beta oxidation is: Cn-acyl-CoA + FAD + NAD+ + H2O + CoA → Cn-2-acyl-CoA + FADH2 + NADH + H+ + acetyl-CoA Free fatty acids...

enzymology, a [acyl-carrier-protein] S-acetyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.38) is an enzyme that catalyzes the reversible chemical reaction acetyl-CoA + [acyl-carrier-protein]...

The enzyme [acyl-carrier-protein] phosphodiesterase (EC 3.1.4.14) catalyzes the reaction holo-[acyl-carrier-protein] + H2O ⇌{\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons...

enzymology, an acyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] desaturase (EC 1.14.19.2) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction stearoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein]...

Nucleophilic acyl substitution (SNAcyl) describes a class of substitution reactions involving nucleophiles and acyl compounds. In this type of reaction...

acyl azides are generated under conditions where they rearrange to the isocyanate. Alkyl or aryl acyl chlorides react with sodium azide to give acyl azides...
