An experimenter studying the oxidation of fatty acids in extracts of liver found that when palmitate (16:0) was provided as substrate, it was completely oxidized to CO2. However, when undecanoic acid (11:0) was added as substrate, incomplete oxidation occurred unless he bubbled CO2 through the reaction mixture. The addition of the protein avidin, which binds tightly to biotin, prevented the complete oxidation of undecanoic acid even in the presence of CO2, although it had no effect on palmitate oxidation. Explain these observations in light of what you know of fatty acid oxidation reactions.
