3.6.1.6 Dehydrogenation of succinate to fumarate
Succinate is metabolized further by undergoing a dehydrogenation catalyzed by succinate dehydrogenase.It is the only dehydrogenation in the citric acid cycle that involves the direct transfer of hydrogen from the substrate to a flavorprotein without the participation of NAD+. The enzyme contains FAD and iron-sulfur (Fe:S) protein. Fumarate is formed. |
