Figure 4From: The reductase domain in a Type I fatty acid synthase from the apicomplexan Cryptosporidium parvum: Restricted substrate preference towards very long chain fatty acyl thioestersActivity of recombinant CpFAS1-R as assayed using long to very long chain fatty acyl-CoA thioesters as substrates and NADPH as cofactor. A) Substrate preference of CpFAS-R as displayed by activity. Inset shows the OD340 changes during the time course of reactions. B) Allosteric kinetic data of CpFAS1-R towards C26:0 hexacosanoyl CoA.Back to article page
