The citric acid cycle is also known as the Krebs cycle or the tricarboxylic acid cycle. It is a series of reactions in a closed loop that are fundamental for cellular respiration. The citric acid ...

Researchers have new insights into the citric acid cycle: Certain bacteria can use this central metabolic pathway 'backwards', but to do so they must have very high concentrations of the enzyme ...

The Krebs cycle, also known as the citric acid cycle, is a series of enzymatic reactions that releases energy from stored carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. The Krebs Cycle was first proposed by Hans ...

Through a combination of one biotechnological and one chemical step, and starting from sunflower oil, scientists have devised a large-scale synthesis of (2R-3S)-isocitric acid, the last intermediate ...

6-PPDQ, has emerged as an environmental concern due to its widespread detection and toxic effects. In a study published in Environmental Chemistry and Ecotoxicology, researchers from Southeast ...

The Citric Acid CycleThe reductive citric acid cycle behaves like a chemical hurricane. Carbon atoms from CO 2 (yellow and orange) attach at either end of molecules. As the cycle proceeds ...

Citric acid is an important natural compound that has been known since the late 18th century. The pioneering Swedish–German chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele isolated it from lemon juice in 1784. It has ...
