Factual errors

The first paragraph reads:

The CoA is then removed from the chain, carrying two carbons from the chain with it, forming acetyl-CoA. This is then used in the citric acid cycle to start a chain of reactions, eventually forming many adenosine triphosphates.

The acyl group carries an alkyl group R that is not necessarily a methyl group; see the acyl group article. When co-enzyme A is removed, Acyl-CoA only becomes acetyl-CoA only when the R group is a methyl group. When the R group is anything else, such as an ethyl group, acyl-CoA does not become acetyl-CoA.

Finally, last comment on citric acid cycle should arguably be moved to the article on acetyl-CoA. --Chibibrain (talk) 04:39, 21 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fatty acid activation

The section is rather ineffective. Perhaps a more specific example, such as an reaction involving a common fatty acid, should be illustrated, with line structures. --Chibibrain (talk) 04:39, 21 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think that this section could possibly be expanded into its own section, including a quick summary of how the process of oxidation works. 165.134.208.28 (talk) 02:20, 5 February 2014 (UTC) Iamwillthinnes (talk) 02:25, 5 February 2014 (UTC)iamwillthinnes[reply]
