Synthesis of palmitate, starting with malonyl-ACP and acetyl-KS

Description
The first cycle of four reactions generates butyryl-ACP.

Following translocation from ACP, butyryl-KS reacts with a second molecule of malonyl-ACP, leading to a second cycle of two-carbon addition.

A total of seven such cycles generates palmitoyl-ACP.

Hydrolysis of this product releases palmitate.
