What is synthesised during the conversion of succinyl-CoA to succinic acid?

Step-by-step solution

During the conversion of succinyl-CoA to succinic acid a molecule of GTP is synthesised . This is a substrate level phosphorylation. In a coupled reaction GTP is converted to GDP with the simultaneous synthesis of ATP from ADP. Also there are three points in the cycle where NAD+ is reduced to NADH + H+ and one point where FAD+ is reduced to FADH2. The continued oxidation of acetyl CoA via the TCA cycle requires the continued replenishment of oxaloacetic acid, the first member of the cycle. In addition it also requi
