Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To explain In step 2 of the citric acid cycle (Figure 29-12), cis-aconitate reacts with water to give (2R, 3S)-isocitrate and how the -OH add from the Re face of the double bond or from the Si face.

When are the α and β forms not interconvertible?
There are eight chemical reactions that occur in the citric acid cycle process.  The reactions of the citric acid cycle are shown in the figure below. You were introduced to several classes of organic reactions.  These classes include esterification, decarboxylation, hydration reactions, dehydration of alcohols, oxidation of alcohols, oxidation of aldehydes, reduction of aldehydes, and reduction of ketones.  Find at least one of these reaction classes in the citric acid cycle.  List the reaction number and the reaction. Write a sentence or two on how you were able to make the classification.
Given the following information on reduction potentials, calculate the standard free energy in kJ/mol based on your understanding of electron transfer through the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. Round to nearest whole number. Lipoamide + 2H+ + 2e-  → dihydrolipoamide ∆εο = -0.29 FAD + 2H+ + 2e-  → FADH2 ∆εο = −0.01
