Citric acid cycle ....

citric acid ---> cis-aconitic acid----> isocitric acid--(NAD ---> NADH2) --> oxalosuccinic acid (OSA) --> alpha-ketoglutaric acid (@-KGA)

--(NAD --->NADH2)-> succinyl coA ,---> succinic acid ------> fumaric acid ------> malic acid --(NAD--->NADH2)--> oxalo acetic acid (OAA)----> again citric acid....

CRICKET CLUB OF INDIA, OK SUCCESS FIRST MATCH OVER.

cricket = citric acid

club = cis aconitic acid

india = isocitric acid

o k = oxalosuccinic acid ::::::::::> alpha Ketoglutaric acid.

SuccesS = succinyl coenzyme A and Succinic acid

First = fumaric acid

Match = Malic Acid

Over = Oxalo succinic acid

Anti haemophilic factor-A (AHF-A)

Chrismas factor / (AHF-B)/ Plasma thromboplastin component

Stuart factor
