103
Can 𝛽-oxidation occur with odd-numbered fatty acids? Can 𝛽-oxidation occur with fatty chains containing double bonds? Explain your answer in at least three complete sentences.
Yes to both types of chains. The 𝛽-oxidation process occurs with both unsaturated fatty acids (those with double bonds) and fatty acids that have an odd number of carbons. Double bonds and odd-numbered chains each present a structural problem for the standard enzymes of the pathway. So, there are additional steps with enzymes for each type of molecule, but the molecules are degraded with energy recovered.
