Oxidation of the fatty acid–CoA thioesters actually takes place in discrete vesicular bodies called mitochondria ... The first step is the transport of the fatty acid across the innermost of the two concentric mitochondrial membranes ... The second step is the oxidation of the fatty acid to a set of two-carbon acetate fragments with thioester linkages to CoA. This series of reactions, known as β-oxidation, takes place in the matrix of the mitochondrion.
