2-Butenoyl coenzyme A (lithium), an active compound, can be used as a substrate for plasmodium falciparum enyl-ACP reductases and other enyl-CoA reductases. 2-Butenoyl coenzyme A lithium can be used as a substrate analogue to study the kinetics of β-hydroxyacyl-acyl-carrier protein (ACP) dehydratase (FabZ)[1].
