One such molecule is jasmonic acid — and its ... question — why were the same set of starting molecules, unsaturated fatty acids, chosen as the starting point for signaling molecules in ...

Fatty acids are organic acids with at least one carboxyl (-C(=O)OH, -COOH or -CO2H) group and a long carbon chain that can be joined by double bonds, as in unsaturated fatty acids, or single bonds ...

Studies indicate that unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs) can undergo trans-isomerization, a molecular reconfiguration that transform them into TFAs when heated at 150 °C or higher. On the other hand ...
