Phosphopantetheine
Phosphopantetheine, also known as 4'-Phosphopantetheine, is an essential prosthetic group of acyl carrier protein (ACP) and peptidyl carrier proteins (PCP) and aryl carrier proteins (ArCP) derived from Coenzyme A.[1] It is also present in formyltetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase.[2]

Functions
Phosphopantetheine fulfills two demands.
- First, the intermediates remain covalently linked to the synthases (or synthetases) in an energy-rich thiol ester linkage.
- Second, the flexibility and length of phosphopantetheine chain (approximately 2 nm) allows the covalently tethered intermediates to have access to spatially distinct enzyme active sites.
gollark: It's very powerful and also sometimes very eldritch.
gollark: CSS is a DSL browsers have for applying styling to things.
gollark: Yes, browsers have better sandboxing and multi-tab capability.
gollark: I have CSS tweaks to make the corners of everything non-rounded.
gollark: I don't think they would care.
