Fatty acid biosynthesis occurs through a series of reactions involving fatty acid synthase (FAS), a polypeptide multienzyme comp
lex. The result of this synthesis is a saturated fatty acid with up to 16 carbon atoms (palmitic acid). Longer fatty acids and unsaturated fatty acids result from modifications to fatty acids produced by FAS activity.What saturated fatty acid gives rise to myristoleic acid, CH3(CH2)3CH=CH(CH2)7COOH? (Complete the reaction by modifying the reactant.)
