  • Title: Enzymatic hydrogen atom abstraction from polyunsaturated fatty acids.
    Author: McGinley CM, van der Donk WA.
    Journal: Chem Commun (Camb); 2003 Dec 07; (23):2843-6. PubMed ID: 14680206.
    Abstract:
    The oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids such as arachidonic and linoleic acid initiates a plethora of cell signaling pathways in animals and plants. The chemistry of the enzymatic oxidation has been investigated for several enzymes, most notably prostaglandin synthase and the lipoxygenases, revealing many surprises and impressive examples of enzymatic control of hydrogen atom abstraction and subsequent oxygenation.
