[C][C][Branch1][=Branch1][C][=Branch1][C][=O][O][C][=Branch1][C][=O][O]"}, {"from": "gpt", "value": "The molecule is a malonic acid derivative which is a vital intermediate in the metabolism of fat and protein. Abnormalities in methylmalonic acid metabolism lead to methylmalonic aciduria. This metabolic disease is attributed to a block in the enzymatic conversion of methylmalonyl CoA to succinyl CoA."}]
