Wired Faculty App

The enzyme decarboxylase catalyses the following step

  • conversion of citric acid to cis aconitic acid

  • fumaric acid to malic acid

  • oxalosuccinic acid to α- ketoglutaric acid

  • malic acid to oxaloacetic acid

Solution

C.

oxalosuccinic acid to α- ketoglutaric acid

Oxalosuccinate is decarboxylated to form α- ketoglutarate through the enzyme decarboxylase. It is one of the step involved in Krebs' cycle. It releases one molecule of CO2.

Oxalosuccinate →Mg2+Decarboxylase α- ketoglutarate + CO2
