Waltz Round the Cycle. Once a jolly pyruvate enters the matrix Of a mitochondrion, so they say A decarboxylating , complex dehydrogenase Converts it to acetyl co-enzyme A. Waltz round the cycle Waltz round the cycle Waltz round the TCA cycle today.

Once a jolly pyruvate enters the matrix Of a mitochondrion, so they say A decarboxylating, complex dehydrogenase Converts it to acetyl co-enzyme A.
Waltz round the cycle Waltz round the cycle Waltz round the TCA cycle today A decarboxylating, complex dehydrogenase Turns pyruvate to acetyl CoA.
Oxaloacetate looking for a partner Thinks “active acetate” looks OK; Condensing enzyme arranging a merger Makes a new citrate, and kicks out CoA. Waltz round the cycle Waltz round the cycle Waltz round the TCA cycle today
Condensing enzyme arranging a merger Makes a new citrate, and kicks out CoA. Along comes aconitase, a hydro-dehydratase, Gives isocitrate reversibly. Then its dehydrogenase gives NADH, Carbon dioxide and a-OG.

Off with the CO2. Another oxidation Just like the PDC previously. Succinyl CoA with a thiokinase Yields succinate and GTP

Succinate’s oxidized by its dehydrogenase Reducing FAD, fiving fumarate; Fumarase makes malate; another dehydrogenase Generates oxaloacetate.
