Question

The sequence for the action of the following enzymes of fatty acid \(\beta\)-oxidation pathway is:
(A). \(\beta\)-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase
(B). Thiolase
(C). Enoyl CoA hydratase
(D). Acyl CoA - dehydrogenase
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. (A), (B), (C), (D).
• B. (B), (C), (A), (D).
• C. (D), (C), (A), (B).
• D. (C), (B), (D), (A).

Hint:

An easy way to remember the sequence of reactions in \(\beta\)-oxidation is the acronym OHOT: Oxidation, Hydration, Oxidation, Thiolysis.
This corresponds to Acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, Enoyl-CoA hydratase, \(\beta\)-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase, and Thiolase.
