Isocitrate

Fabricate a molecule structure model of Isocitrate using Genuine Molymod Atoms & Bonds by indigoinstruments.com

Isocitrate has the chemical structure of a carboxylic acid. It is an intermediate in the TCA/citric acid/Krebs cycle, an important biochemical pathway in cell respiration/metabolism.

The TCA cycle starts with citrate forming from oxaloacetate and acetyl-CoA & is then converted to isocitrate. Isocitrate is catalyzed to form alpha-ketoglutarate (& a molecule of NADH) & then to succinyl-CoA (& another molecule of NADH) through a series of reactions. The last stages see the conversion of succinyl-CoA to succinate, guanosine triphosphate (GTP) & finally ATP.
