Summary Introduction

To compare: The multi-enzyme complex involved in the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl CoA with the multienzyme complex that catalyzes Step 4 of the Citric acid cycle.

Introduction:

The citric acid cycle is a cyclic metabolic pathway that involves the oxidation of acetyl-CoA to form carbon dioxide, water, and energy. CAC comprises 8 steps which include multiple redox reactions, hydration, dehydration, and decarboxylation reactions.
