TCA cycle by mnemonics.... its fun...

i'll present another mnemonic.. very fine one that i came up with... ( that should be decided by you)...

Citric acid cycle ....

citric acid ---> cis-aconitic acid----> isocitric acid--(NAD ---> NADH2) --> oxalosuccinic acid (OSA) --> alpha-ketoglutaric acid (@-KGA)

--(NAD --->NADH2)-> succinyl coA ,---> succinic acid ------> fumaric acid ------> malic acid --(NAD--->NADH2)--> oxalo acetic acid (OAA)----> again citric acid....

and to complicate things ( not actually !!!) in some steps NADH2 is formed, and in some FADH2 is formed.....

so.. here is my mnemonic...

Commonly, All sisters Isolate OSAma's KG- amputates Sharply Suceeding in Filming Meteorates (actually meteorites) Ascending only above...

now..plzz note that whenver a word ends with -ate here, in that step, NADH2 is formed.....that

here... Commonly - citric acid

All sisters = aconitic acid cis form

Isolate - isocitric acid....

OSAma = oxalosuccinic acid

KG-amputate = @-KGA

Sharply= succinyl coA

suceeding = succinic acid

filming = fumaric acid...

metoerate = malic acid

only ascending above = OAA

hope it helps...
