title: Green enzymes and suicide substrates: a look at the acyl-CoA dehydrogenases in fatty acid oxidation.
abstract: The enzymes of mitochondrial beta-oxidation remain poorly understood despite their central role in energy production and their involvement in a number of genetic disorders. This article presents some interesting aspects of the acyl-CoA dehydrogenases focusing on their interaction with acyl-CoA substrates and analogs.
