Morgan J Ryan asked those on sci.bio if they had anything to say about
the apparent similarity of parts these two systems.  He's going to follow the
discussion on this group so let's see what people have to say.

My initial feeling is that some degree of explanation can be had from
Kacser & Beeby 74.  We are probably limited (by physiological
feasibility) to very few ways in which to carry out B-ox, but if these
pathways do share a common ancestry, why the different cofactors?

Please shed some light on this issue if you can, but if you can not,
please feel free to compound it with further questions :-)
