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: I mean, it's not like many people are in a position to go "hmm, I disagree with this software, I'll just not do the exam/test/etc".

gollark: Some of the other things apparently detect face and eye movemenets which is, er, bad.
gollark: It uses the RFC 2119 "MUST" definition, which says "This word, or the terms "REQUIRED" or "SHALL", mean that the definition is an absolute requirement of the specification.", so attackers cannot, in fact, not do this.
gollark: The RFC says MUST, so yes.
