Chapter 22, Problem 22.70QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The molecules that serve as a signal to decrease the rate of reaction of citric acid cycle have to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

The citric acid cycle includes a series of biochemical reactions that use acetyl CoA to form carbon dioxide and play a role in energy production and biosynthesis. A large amount of energy is produced in the form of ATP, NADH, and ${\text{FADH}}_{\text{2}}$. The citric acid cycle is regulated by four allosteric enzymes.
