3. Figure 1 Generalized Scheme of the FAS Catalytic Cycle
(A) The reaction is initiated by the transfer of the acyl moiety to the ketosynthase, catalyzed by the acetyl-CoA-ACP transacylase (AT) and the malonyl moiety to ACP catalyzed by malonyl-CoA-ACP transacylase (MAT). The ketosynthase (KS) catalyzes the decarboxylative condensation of the acyl intermediate with malonyl-ACP to yield the 3-oxoacyl-ACP. This reaction is followed by reduction of the β-keto group by the ketoreductase (KR). The resulting 3-hydroxyacyl-ACP is dehydrated by a dehydratase (DH) to 2-enoyl-ACP, which is reduced by the enoylreductase (ER) to the fully saturated acyl substrate for further cyclic elongation. The reaction proceeds until the desired chain length is produced, which is than released from the ACP by the thioesterase (TE).
(B) Synthetic summary for 3-oxooctanyl-ACP, (C) 3R-hydroxyoctanoyl-ACP, and (D) 2-octenoyl-ACP. The numbering indicated for 4′-PP group is used in the text.

Structural Ensembles for the Best Fit Superposition of the Backbone (N, Cα, C) Atoms of the 20 Simulated Annealing Structures
(A) Hexanoyl-ACP (pink), (B) 3-oxooctanyl-ACP (gray), (C) 3R-hydroxyoctanoyl-ACP (blue), (D) 2-octenoyl-ACP (yellow), and (E) octanoyl-ACP (red). The protein backbone is presented in lines as well as phosphopantetheine attachment. In all five cases, the superposition was made on the closest to average structure in the ensemble of 20 models over residues 4–18, 42–53, 60–65, and 70–79.

8. Figure 6 Comparison of the Closest to Average Acyl ACP Structures
The most significant changes are indicated in black (for protein) and red (for 4′-PP) arrows. Stereoviews are shown for (A) hexanoyl- versus 3-oxooctanyl-ACP, (B) 3-oxooctanyl- versus 3R-hydroxyoctanoyl-ACP; (C) 3R-hydroxyoctanoyl- versus 2-octenoyl-ACP; (D) 2-octenoyl- versus octanoyl-ACP, and (E) hexanoyl- versus octanoyl-ACP. Structures were aligned as described in the text and the color scheme is identical to Figure 6. The right-hand column shows a graphical depiction of the change in chain burial depending on the attached intermediate. The dotted line represents the hydrophobic binding cavity of the fatty acid ACP and the changing position of carbon 1 and carbon 3 is indicated.
