Reaction Mechanism

    Enoyl ACP reductase catalyses the last step in fatty acid biosynthesis. Therefore it is a potential target for antibacterial agent development. It catalyses the NAD(P)H-dependent reduction of enoyl acyl carrier protein.

    The bacterial form of the enzyme is different from the human form as it exists as a free globular protein rather than a part of a multienzyme complex. EACPR's show homology, and similarity to hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, and also beta-keto reductase, suggesting divergent evolution has played a role in the development of the pathway of lipid biosynthesis.


    The catalytic mechanism involves C3 of the substrate being subject to hydride attack by NADH, a bound cofactor. Formation of an enolate intermediate follows, which accepts a proton from Tyr 156. A role in transition state stabilisation through hydrogen bonding has also been suggested for Tyr 156. The enol product would then tautomerise to give the reduced acyl product. Tyr 156 therefore acts as the base that donates the proton to the enolate anion, and Lys 163 acts to stabilise the negatively charged transition state.

    Step 1.

    C3 of the substrate is attacked by a hydride from NADH, forming an enolate and NAD. The oxygen of the enolate is protonated by Tyr156 resulting in an enol.

    Step 2.

    The enol tautomerises to form the product.
