- In chemistry, an
acyl group is a
moiety derived by the
removal of one or more
hydroxyl groups from an oxoacid,
including inorganic acids. It
contains a...

Acyl-CoA is a
group of
coenzymes that
metabolize fatty acids.
Acyl-CoA's are
susceptible to beta oxidation, forming, ultimately, acetyl-CoA. The acetyl-CoA...
- In
organic chemistry, an
acyl halide (also
known as an acid halide) is a
chemical compound derived from an
oxoacid by
replacing a
hydroxyl group (−OH)...
-
example of an
acyl chloride is
acetyl chloride, CH3COCl.
Acyl chlorides are the most
important subset of
acyl halides.
Where the

overall reaction for one
cycle of beta
oxidation is: Cn-

Nucleophilic acyl substitution (SNAcyl)
describes a
class of
substitution reactions involving nucleophiles and
acyl compounds. In this type of reaction...

Using this approach,
lipids may be
divided into
eight categories:
fatty acyls, glycerolipids, glycerophospholipids, sphingolipids, saccharolipids, and...
- enzymology, a [
acyl-carrier-protein] S-acetyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.38) is an
enzyme that
catalyzes the
reversible chemical reaction acetyl-CoA + [

acyl azides are
generated under conditions where they
rearrange to the isocyanate.
Alkyl or aryl
