Video from Dr Matt & Dr Mike on YouTube

2.5.1 Describe the reactions of the citric acid cycle, its energy yield and its regulation.

Why this video

It breaks down each reaction, enzyme, and cofactor of the citric acid cycle, including how the high-energy electron carriers and GTP are generated.

Part of this line

Covers part of this objective. It leaves out: It does not cover the systematic allosteric regulation of the cycle's irreversible enzymes.

Heads up

The video mistakenly states that pyruvate is converted to acetyl-CoA outside the mitochondria rather than inside the mitochondrial matrix.
