And that means it contains a positive charge on one side and a negative charge on the other side. So this is what carnitine actually looks like. And what the carnitine does is it reacts with the acyl coenzyme A and it kicks off that coenzyme A component, and the carnitine basically replaces that coenzyme A. And what happens is we have a bond that is formed between this carbon and this oxygen on the carbonsine. So the carbonne contains a negative charge on the carboxylate group, a positive charge on this quarterinary nitrogen, and we also have this alcohol group. And the oxygen of the alcohol forms a bond with the carbon of this carbonyl group of the Acyl coenzyme A.
