I have a bit problem figuring out how malate to oxaloacetate is reversible but not some of the others (also 30 kJ/mol). () 15:26, 15 March 2008 (UTC) Naming question [ ] Why do we use a name that suggests that carboxylic acids are involved? All the intermediates are deprotonated, and hence, not acids.

---- —Preceding comment added by () 14:02, 28 April 2008 (UTC) • That's a fair question. Perhaps it's a better-sounding name than 'citrate cycle'? – 14:06, 28 April 2008 (UTC) cis-aconitase in lead image [ ] (Reply to ) cis-Aconitase is pretty much only an in-enzyme intermediate (the only other function is as precursor to itaconate), so I think it would be but a diversion in the picture for the compounds that are not enzyme intermediate.

The links to enzyme pages should be enough for those interested in the mechanisms and intermediatry compounds of the CAC enzymes. () 20:21, 13 June 2008 (UTC) And why was the lead picture replaced by a factually inaccurate pic?

I you really want the intermediary compounds I guess I could readd them insome form to the jpg, even though I think the picture is better off without them. () 20:59, 30 June 2008 (UTC) Blank header [ ] When people create these articles, like someone said below, please keep in mind that the people who come seeking to learn about this subject do not have a masters in bio chemistry. If they did, they wouldn't need the article that much. Majority of people who use an article like this are students who need a clear definition to start with.

This would have been so much easier for me if the introduction said something along the lines of. 'The Citric Acid Cycle is a series of enzyme-catalyzed chemical reactions of importance in living cells that occurs in the mitochondria. This cycle produces ATP (cell energy). Instead, I had to do another 20mins looking up what the hell this cycle actually does (end product), wich is more important than all the steps that take place.

I know you sound really smart spouting all of that off, but please use common sense. Lol please forgive my assininess -- —Preceding comment was added at 08:38, 19 September 2008 (UTC). —Preceding comment added by ( • ) 08:36, 19 September 2008 (UTC) Well, the lead says 'The citric acid cycle [.] is a series of enzyme-catalysed chemical reactions [.] in the matrix of the mitochondrion [.] to generate a form of usable energy.' Plus you have a products table that states what goes in and what goes out. Are you asking for a reorganisation of the lead, or.?

Perhaps you were fooled by the name of the overview section (it's not an overview but an in-depth step-by-step description). () 12:15, 19 September 2008 (UTC) Is it possible to edit the diagram to correct the misspelling of 'fumarate'?

() 05:52, 30 October 2008 (UTC) Good catch. () 07:13, 30 October 2008 (UTC) I have a new textbook from 2006 adapted from 'Biological Science, second ediion' by Scott Freeman that uses 'Krebs Cycle' consistantly, so some people do still use the name. Also, why is the word 'skittles' in the article? Two questions: • What's the source for this image? I notice it's been uploaded to Wikipedia, but where's it from? • Shouldn't it be located at (or, biologists, should that be if it's often not used as a proper name)?

-- • it's Krebs cycle (lower case) according to two biochem texts I have handy • no-one calls it that anymore really; almost always its referred to as citric acid cycle. - I replaced it with my Nupedia article on the subject. I doubt much information was lost by that;) Also, the images are mine, which solves the doubtful copyright problem. Looks like the tranition didn't go too well on the table, please help fixing it. -- Gee whiz, its so worthwhile to spend time working on diagrams, when the entire article can just be replaced by Nupedia stuff. Not to mention, of course, that I spent some actual time working on my diagram. Given the current upload protocol, it should be trivial to track the source of images, if you have copyright questions.

Anyway, you've succeeded in souring me from drawing a diagram again. - I didn't know where the diagram was from; actually, I was suspicious of its origin because it looked too professional!

Given the text accompanying it (which, as you will surely admit, was not the most complete description ever made;), I intended to (that was the recommendation of a higher authority; you know who) and just put the (existing) article in. If I hurt your feelings by removing your work, I'm sorry. If you need an excuse to reduce your input to wikipedia, go right ahead and blame me. Not that you could have said 'I made this' on this page when the question came up, or re-replaced my image with yours (I still have it up at Nupedia, I wouldn't have a problem with that;).
