Summary Introduction

To review:

The role of common intermediates to couple two chemical reactions.

Introduction:

A coupled reaction can be explained as the one in which energy is transferred from one side of the reaction to the other. In most cases, an endergonic reaction is coupled with an exergonic reaction to form a coupling reaction, whose total free energy is equal to the sum of the free energy of the two reactions.
