Question
A mutation to metabolize this compound has been the most surprising adaptation in 35 years of the long-term E. coli evolution experiment. Salts of this chelating (“KEY-lating”) acid are administered to neutralize stomach acid before a C-section and to alkalinize (“ALK-uh-lin-ize”) urine to prevent kidney stones. The only iron-sulfur protein in central metabolism isomerizes this compound through aconitate. Glycolysis is feedback-inhibited by this six-carbon (*) tri·carboxylic acid, which is formed when oxalo·acetate condenses with acetyl-CoA. Aerobic oxidation of this compound provides high-energy electrons to N·A·D and F·A·D in a pathway that occurs inside the mitochondrial matrix after glycolysis. For 10 points, the Krebs cycle is named for what acid found in oranges and lemons? ■END■
