"Anaerobic glycolysis" (the conversion of glucose all the way to two lactate molecules) results in no net production of NADH. True or False- why
Malate dehydrogenase has a ΔGo′ΔGo′= 29.5 kJ/mol for the formation of oxaloacetate from malate yet plays a crucial role in the Citric Acid Cycle. Explain (briefly) how this enzyme with a very non-spontaneous ΔGo′ΔGo′can function well in a biochemical pathway.
