26.3: Fatty Acid Biosynthesis. Fatty acid biosynthesis is performed by a cluster of discrete enzymes in bacteria, and a very large multi-protein assembly in animals (fatty acid synthase, FAS). The fatty acid is attached to an acyl carrier protein (ACP), while other proteins perform an iterative two-carbon chain extension reaction that will yield the fatty acid.
