Previous Steps 💡
Acetyl CoA + Oxaloacetate → Citrate + CoA-SH
ENZYME: Citrate SynthaseÂ
Citrate → IsocitrateÂ
ENZYME: AconitaseÂ
Isocitrate → alpha-Ketogluterate + CO2 + NADH
ENZYME: Isocitrate dehydrogenaseÂ
alpha-Ketogluterate → Succinyl-CoA + CO2 + NADH
ENZYME: alpha-Ketogluterate dehydrogenase COMPLEXÂ
Phase 3: Energy Capture
In this phase, GTP is generated.Â
Succinyl-CoA → Succinate + CoA + ⚡GTP⚡
ENZYME: Succinyl-CoA SynthetaseÂ
So instead of synthesizing Succinyl-CoA, it generates things from it. Unfortunately, it is unlike the others that were named after their product!
This enzyme gets its energy from the thioester bond.Â
