Acetyl-CoA
The main function of coenzyme A is to carry acyl groups (such as the acetyl group) or thioesters. Acetyl-CoA is an important molecule itself. It is the precursor to HMG CoA, which is a vital component in cholesterol and ketone synthesis. (wikipedia). acetyl CoA participates in the biosynthesis of fatty acids and sterols, in the oxidation of fatty acids and in the metabolism of many amino acids. It also acts as a biological acetylating agent. The main function of coenzyme A is to carry acyl groups (such as the acetyl group) or thioesters. Acetyl-CoA is an important molecule itself. It is the precursor to HMG CoA, which is a vital component in cholesterol and ketone synthesis. (wikipedia)

3-Methylcatechol
3-methylcatechol, also known as 2,3-dihydroxytoluene or 2,3-toluenediol, is a member of the class of compounds known as catechols. Catechols are compounds containing a 1,2-benzenediol moiety. 3-methylcatechol is soluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). 3-methylcatechol can be found in arabica coffee, beer, cocoa powder, and coffee, which makes 3-methylcatechol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. 3-methylcatechol is a chemical compound . 3-Methylcatechol is a building block in the chemical synthesis produced by Pseudomonas putida MC2[1]. 3-Methylcatechol is a building block in the chemical synthesis produced by Pseudomonas putida MC2[1].
3-methylcatechol
A methylcatechol carrying a methyl substituent at position 3. It is a xenobiotic metabolite produced by some bacteria capable of degrading nitroaromatic compounds present in pesticide-contaminated soil samples. 3-Methylcatechol is a building block in the chemical synthesis produced by Pseudomonas putida MC2[1]. 3-Methylcatechol is a building block in the chemical synthesis produced by Pseudomonas putida MC2[1].
