| The sum of all reactions in the citric acid cycle is: |
Acetyl-CoA + 3 NAD+ + FAD + GDP + Pi + 2 H2O |
→ CoA-SH + 3 NADH + FADH2 + 3 H+ + GTP + 2 CO2
|
| Combining the reactions occurring during the pyruvate oxidation with those occurring during the citric acid cycle, the following overall pyruvate oxidation reaction is obtained: |
Pyruvate ion + 4 NAD+ + FAD + GDP + Pi + 2 H2O |
→ 4 NADH + FADH2 + 4 H+ + GTP + 3 CO2
|
| Combining the above reaction with the ones occurring in the course of glycolysis, the following overall glucose oxidation reaction (excluding reactions in the respiratory chain) is obtained: |
Glucose + 10 NAD+ + 2 FAD + 2 ADP + 2 GDP + 4 Pi + 2 H2O |
→ 10 NADH + 2 FADH2 + 10 H+ + 2 ATP + 2 GTP + 6 CO2
