CoA‐dependent activation of mitochondrial acyl carrier protein links four neurodegenerative diseases

open access: yesEMBO Molecular Medicine, 2019
PKAN, CoPAN, MePAN, and PDH‐E2 deficiency share key phenotypic features but harbor defects in distinct metabolic processes. Selective damage to the globus pallidus occurs in these genetic neurodegenerative diseases, which arise from defects in CoA ...

Coenzyme A and its derivatives: renaissance of a textbook classic

open access: yes, 2014
In 1945, Fritz Lipmann discovered a heat-stable cofactor required for many enzyme-catalysed acetylation reactions. He later determined the structure for this acetylation coenzyme, or coenzyme A (CoA), an achievement for which he was awarded the Nobel ...
