Oxaloacetate
Isomerizes to isocitrate.
Citrate
Has a tertiary —OH group converted to a secondary—OH in isocitrate that can be oxidized.
Citrate
Undergoes decarboxylation (carbon removed as CO2)
Isocitrate
▪ Undergoes decarboxylation to form succinyl CoA.
▪ Produces a 4-carbon compound that bonds to CoA.
▪ Provides H+ and 2e−
to reduce NAD+ to NADH.
(alpha)a-Ketoglutarate
Undergoes breaking of the thioester bond
Succinyl CoA
