Cyclopropane fatty acid synthase

Patent Granted In enzymology, a cyclopropane-fatty-acyl-phospholipid synthase (EC 2.1.1.79) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction S-adenosyl-L-methionine + phospholipid olefinic fatty acid \rightleftharpoons S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + phospholipid cyclopropane fatty acid Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are S-adenosyl methionine and phospholipid olefinic fatty acid, whereas its two products are S-adenosylhomocysteine and phospholipid cyclopropane fatty acid.
