Summary
Thioesterases are enzymes that catalyze the
Hydrolysis of thioester bonds
, playing a crucial role in
Fatty Acid Metabolism
and the
Biosynthesis of polyketides
and nonribosomal peptides. Their activity is essential for terminating the
Elongation process of fatty acid chains
and
Releasing the final product
from the
Enzyme Complex
.
