In the Krebs cycle, citrate (6C) is decarboxylated to form α-ketoglutarate (5C), and subsequently α-ketoglutarate (5C) is decarboxylated to form oxaloacetate (4C), with CO2 released in both steps.
Nel ciclo di Krebs, il citrato (6C) viene decarbossilato per formare α-chetoglutarato (5C), e successivamente l'α-chetoglutarato (5C) viene decarbossilato per formare ossalacetato (4C), con il rilascio di CO2 in entrambi i passaggi.
| Front | How does decarboxylation occur in the Krebs Cycle? |
|---|---|
| Back | - citrate (6C) --> α-ketoglutarate (5C) - CO2 released - α-ketoglutarate (5C) --> oxaloacetate (4C) - CO2 released |
