| Anverso | What is step 3 of CAC: succinate oxidation? |
| Reverso | 1. Succinate Dehydrogenase is bound to mitochondrial inner membrane • Part of Complex II in the electron‐transport chain 2. Reduction of the alkane to alkene requires FADH2 • Reduction potential of NADH is too low 3. FAD is covalently bound, unusual 4. Near equilibrium/reversible • Product concentration kept low: pulls reaction forward!! |
