The N terminal domain (pink) is embedded in the membrane with the arginine rich lid-loop (dark blue), while the flexile linker (black) connects the C terminal domain (green) to the rest of the enzyme. Activation requires the binding of ATP (blue) which induces structural changes that promote the binding of the fatty acid chain. Formation of an acyl-adenylate intermediate induces a 140° rotation of the C terminal domain and the binding of CoA (orange). ]] | ||
