Crotonoyl coenzyme A (Crotonoyl -CoA) may be used in anti-tubercular and anti-malarial drug research as a substrate to help identify and characterized enzymes such as Plasmodium falciparum enoyl-ACP reductase (PfENR) and other enoyl-CoA reductases that may be effective drug targets. Crotonoyl -CoA may be used as a substrate analogue for kinetic studies on ?-hydroxyacyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) dehydratase (FabZ).
Uses
Crotonoyl coenzyme A (2-Butenoyl coenzyme A) may be used as a substrate of enzymes such as Plasmodium falciparum enoyl-ACP reductase and other enoyl-CoA reductases. Crotonoyl –CoA may be used as a substrate analogue for kinetic studies on β-hydroxyacyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) dehydratase (FabZ).
