Chapter 19, Problem 23P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reactions in the citric acid cycle which forms a product with a new asymmetric centre has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Citric acid cycle: The cycle in which acetyl group of each molecule of $\text{acetyl-CoA}$ is converted into two molecules of ${\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}$  It is a series of eight reactions.

$NA{D}^{+}$Molecule: It is the oxidized form of $\text{Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide }\left(NAD\right)$ which exists in all cells and needed for activation of enzymes.

$NADHmolecule:$ It is coenzyme which gets oxidized on reducing another compound. The oxidized form of $\text{NADH}\text{is}{\text{NAD}}^{\text{+}}$.
