Chapter 23, Problem 23.80EP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: To determine the two citric acid cycle intermediates involved in the reaction governed by an enzyme $\alpha \text{-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase}$.

Concept introduction: Citric acid cycle is the third stage of the biochemical energy production process. The cycle includes the reactions in which the acetyl part of acetyl CoA is oxidized and leads to the formation of carbon dioxide and $\text{CoA-SH}$. An overview of the citric acid cycle is as follows:

Enzymes are the biological molecules that are used to accelerate the rate of the reaction. They are required for completion of various functions of the body.

(b)
