Key Equations

$$\text{Fatty acid} + \text{CoA} + \text{ATP} \rightarrow \text{Acyl-CoA} + \text{AMP} + \text{PP}_i \quad (\text{costs 2 ATP equivalents})$$
$$\text{Total ATP} = 8(10) + 7(2.5) + 7(1.5) - 2 = 80 + 17.5 + 10.5 - 2 = \boxed{106 \text{ ATP}}$$
$$\text{Propionyl-CoA} \xrightarrow[\text{biotin}]{\text{propionyl-CoA carboxylase}} \text{D-Methylmalonyl-CoA} \xrightarrow{\text{racemase}} \text{L-Methylmalonyl-CoA} \xrightarrow[\text{vitamin B}_{12}]{\text{mutase}} \text{Succinyl-CoA}$$
$$\text{Acetyl-CoA} + \text{CO}_2 + \text{ATP} \xrightarrow[\text{biotin}]{\text{ACC}} \text{Malonyl-CoA} + \text{ADP} + \text{P}_i$$
