Description 52-57
During the
complete oxidation of fatty acids, the electrons removed from fatty acids in
different forms (FADH2 and NADH2) pass through the
respiratory chain, driving the ATP synthesis. Generally, the ATP yield due to
the complete oxidation of fatty acids is calculated by sum total the ATPs
obtained due to the oxidation of FADH2 and NADH2 due to
lack of any particular method. This calculation is simple for saturated even
numbered fatty acids, but in the case of saturated and unsaturated odd numbered
fatty acids the calculation of ATP yield is difficult and needs mathematical
calculations due to some changes in their β-oxidation pathway when compared to
the pathway of saturated even numbered fatty acids. These calculations are made
simple by our derivations and following formulae where we require only number
of carbon atoms and double bonds present in a fatty acid. Our method is
superior and easier in comparison to long mathematical calculations that are in
the practice.
