“Embden Meyerhoff Pathway in SMILES’ notation” was the topic of an earlier blog post.
Here I present: “Citric Acid Cycle in SMILES’ notation”.
INTRODUCTION.
The citric acid cycle serves as the mitochondrial hub for the final steps in carbon skeleton oxidative catabolism for carbohydrates, amino acids, and fatty acids. Each oxidative step, in turn, reduces a coenzyme such as nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) or flavin adenine dinucleotide (FADH2). These reduced coenzymes contribute directly to the electron transport chain and thus to the majority of ATP production in the human body.
SMILES’ notation is Simple Molecular Input Line Enter System acronymn. ATOP the blog post are molecules listed from #A to #J. The molecular tree-structure of #A to #J molecules is shown ABOVE.
