FadD activation of fatty acids to their CoA derivatives proceeds through ATP-dependent covalent binding of AMP to fatty acid with the release of inorganic pyrophosphate, followed by C-S bond formation to obtain fatty acyl-CoA ester and subsequent release of AMP. FadD requires the presence of Mg2+ ions to be active (2, 17).
