Abstract excerpt
The citric acid cycle, also known as the Krebs cycle, plays an integral role in cellular metabolism and aerobic respiration. Mutations in genes encoding the citric acid cycle enzymes succinate dehydrogenase, fumarate hydratase and malate dehydrogenase all predispose to hereditary tumour syndromes. The succinate dehydrogenase enzyme complex (SDH) couples the oxidation of succinate to fumarate in the citric acid...
