Merge proposal

[edit]

I propose merging Fatty acyl-CoA esters into Acyl-CoA. Some discussion in Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Molecular_Biology#Regarding_fatty_acyl-CoA_esters from @Jo-Jo Eumerus: seems to indicate that these are, in fact, the same thing. DeemDeem52 (talk) 15:28, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, they are not the same thing. Fatty acyl-CoA is a subgroup of acyl-CoA. Acyl group could be derived from any oxyacid, not only from fatty acid. Examples of acyl-CoA which are not fatty acyl-CoA: benzoyl-CoA, lactoyl-CoA. Also, often formic and acetic acid are excluded from fatty acids, them formyl-CoA and acetyl-CoA are also excluded. The Acyl-CoA article is wrong and has to be corrected. Also, most of the content should be moved/merged to from acyl-CoA article to fatty acyl-CoA.Teaktl17 (talk) 22:36, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Closing, given the uncontested objection and no support with stale discussion. Klbrain (talk) 11:54, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
