When Earl decided to pursue a Ph.D. at Berkeley in 1945, his mentor Barker offered him an opportunity to study metabolic pathways for producing fatty acids in cells. Fatty acids are a class of chemical compounds containing a short or long "hydrocarbon chain" (composed only of hydrogens and carbons) and a "carboxylate group" (which gives acidic properties to fatty acids) at the end of the chain. Fatty acids are major building blocks of fats in the body.
