Well start out with pyruvate

And pyruvate dehydrogenase

And end up with acetyl-CoA

In Step 1, we have Acetyl-CoA

That combines with citrate synthetase

To form citrate and CoASH

Well take the citrate we just made

And add in some aconitase

And well end up with isocitrate

[pearlprincess788]

From isocitrate to alpha-ketoglutarate

It takes isocitrate dehydrogenase

From alpha-ketoglutarate were forming succinyl-CoA

And its made by alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase

Contrary to its name, succinyl-CoA synthetase

Makes succinate from succinyl-CoA

[pearlprincess788]

Then succinate and succinate dehydrogenase

In the inner mitochondrial membrane

React to form fumarate and FADH2

Fumarate to L-malate just takes fumarase and H2O

Oxaloacetate forms from L-malate using malate dehydrogenase

Then that oxaloacetate will combine with some acetyl-CoA

And the cycle begins again!

Next time, try it without the cheesy dialogue.

@pearlprincess788 are you kiding ???



[gameplayer634]

im learning about this in biology as a freshman.

Its hard!!!

[ajayeire]

great one.... why don't u try some tune for uronic acid pathway... i am waiting to memorize them....

[hackingtime88]

skip to 2:13

[xXSherviNXx]

@ilive4thisgame7 LOL

[CTR831]

could hardly hear it I'm sure it was great?

[sallymatthews1]

Next time use a piano that's been tuned

[C0kenut]

Thank God you were learning at the piano! Who doesn't do that?

[nagromgreen]

2:10 to skip the dialogue....
