[@GilbertCollado]

And another way to remember the NADH and FADH2 synthesis location on the cycle is to notice how the enzymes are all dehydrogenases, and if you just memorize succinate dehydrogenase is the one that makes FADH2, then the rest make NADH !! Over all great series though man.

[@Its_semio]

That how I'm remembering it. And if you keep forgetting which one is FADH2, just remember: "it succs to get a F" haha!

[@Rpere387]

lol

[@pedritatulica]

Very good, Gilbert Collado. One shoud have a minimum of knowledge even though it's "dirty". And this knowledge is going to be used in many other important cases.

[@sonya1500]

@@Its_semio Perfect now this is in my mind forever

[@sonya1500]

yeah 'dehydrogenase' come from the fact that the substrate is losing hydrogen to nad/fad+ , just to help the understanding a bit

[@77moral]

Amazing series!!! Not only the videos are made to the perfection, but also the comments (especially under this video) are very helpful. Thank you all for sharing! These videos are life-saving👍👍👍

[@Jaysay7]

AMAZING VIDEO!! I knew this video would simplify TCA cycle but I had no idea it'd be this good. Thank you so much!

[@namratacharles4629]

Really hated Biochemistry during my 1st year of mbbs...wished these videos were available in those days..

[@Alchemist_171]

You're the best out there. Amazing compilation and presentation. Thank you, sir!

[@margaretdente9519]

I AM NAD (not a doc) =Isocitrate, Alpha-ketoglutarate, Malate all use NAD.

[@claudiaalonso5250]

If you're a spanish speaker and have trouble with the krebs cycle (even with these AMAZING videos) I highly suggest Ciclo de Krebs Rap Educativo by Rap de Medicina, absolute masterpiece and a fire song lol

[@Baraa.K.Mohammad]

8:45 The best thing about the letter "O" is that it's "literally" not next to the letter "N", lol! Btw, you definitely are saving my ass when it comes to biochemistry! THANKS!

[@guinerveregunness3609]

This is my way of remembering it: Can (Citrate) I (Isocitrate) Keep (alpha-Ketoglutarate) Sucking (Succinyl- CoA) Salt (Succinate) From (Fumarate) My (Malate) Office (oxaloacetate)

[@beckysam3913]

Thank you, I will never forget this again! 😁

[@friedrichjung7268]

Id say that the letter O is definitely in the middle since it’s part of the great letter ELEMENO

[@AsHiFa-2521]

Citrate is(isocitrate) krebs(alpha ketoglutarate) starting(succinyl coA) substrate(succinate) for( fumarate) making(malate) oxaloacetate

[@mohamedhegazy2338]

you are the best the NADH or FADH will go with where DH, that is the way that remember them

[@anonymous-kk8cr]

It's fumerasing😂😂😂🏌️

[@michaelgoldstein8516]

lol wait, I'm sorry. O is considered the back of the alphabet and isn't sufficiently close to N? It's literally the next letter. LMNOP are usually said in one breath haha. The rest of this video was awesome, but that was a huuuuuuuge suspension of disbelief.

[@DirtyMedicine]

mentally O is where the end of the alphabet starts for me. It's like rounding, 1-4.9999999999 is low but as soon as you hit 5, thats when you round up

[@JooAnnna]

But where's the lie in that mnemonic? lol

[@noirsyad4617]

i love you

[@garrettmorgan9926]

8:47 Another mnemonic for everyone: Remember that the word "dehydrogenase" means to rip off a hydrogen atom and put it on something else. For every dehydrogenase enzyme shown on the diagram, an NADH and an FADH2 molecule is formed. There are only 4 of them.

[@deziangel91]

Another mnemonic for this: Can (citrate) I (isocitrate) Keep (alpha-Ketoglutarate) Selling (Succinyl co A) Sex (succinate) For (Fumarate) Money (malate) officer (oxaloacetate)

[@JM-lh8rl]

Even better is the fact that it ties with the mnemonic for the rate-limiting enzyme beautifully!

My own mnemonic: Obviously (Oxaloacetate) Citrate (Citrate) Is (Isocitrate) A (alpha-ketoglutarate) SillY (SuccinYl-CoA) Stupid (Succinate) Funny (Fumarate) Molecule (Malate) (Obviously) (Oxaloacetate) - depends on where you prefer to start describing the TCA cycle

[@neilsherman2680]

All memorization, med school 1972-73, first year. Now retired fully. I never used most of the biochem. Still unconvinced of the need to force students to memorize this. What would happen if biochem exams were given open book format. My field was Radiation Oncology. Physics was really important, biochem less so.

[@neilsherman2680]

Note the 20 positive responses. The biochem reactions just happen unless toxic substances block key reactions. Still think this is worth testing, but open book format preferrred, not numbing memorization. In the toxicology portion of pharmacology(usually 2nd year), relevant, clinically useful biochem is presented, sometimes. Teaching of first year med school is in serious need of a curriculum overhaul, IMHO.

[@renoleevans]

Can (citrate) I (isocitrate) Keep (alpha-Ketoglutarate) successfully (Succinyl co A) stealing(succinate) From (Fumarate) my (malate) office (oxaloacetate)?

[@macduder2178]

Omg I love how he says Isocitrate like 48 times while emphasizing the importance of remembering that one part of the cycle and continues to repeat is over and over lol. I've honestly learned so much from this guy. Love the channel

Oh, just did a UWorld question showing the cycle and asking which step generates the GTP needed for gluconeogenesis. Answer is Succinyl CoA to Succinate.

Mnemonic to help remember which enzymes make stuff MINK FurS: M - Malate dehydrogenase I - Isocitrate Dehydrogenase N - The 3 enzymes in this word make NADH K - a-Ketoglutarate dehydrogenase FurS -Fadh2 made by Succinate dehydrogenase Also all of them end in dehydrogenase

COULD YOU PLEASE TELL WHERE IS THE ATP PRODUCED IN HERE??

[@pedritatulica]

Chandratte, look at my commentary! It is not ATP that is produced directly in the Krebs cycle. It's GTP! It occurs at the rx catalysed by succinateDH! The ATPs will be formed through the oxidations of NADH and FADH2 in the electron transport chain.

[@blackyrocky7438]

Aconitase enzyme is also important. Rat poison, fluoroacetate inhibit that enzyme

[@jpvn2015]

Also succinyl-CoA to Succinate produces GTP which can be high yield!

[@zshan4445]

2 plus 3 is 5 and 5 plus 2 is 7; these reactions in the pathway are the locations of NADH synthesis.

[@shadrackbrentuo3665]

When he mentions Oxaloacetate as classically being the end of the alphabet hence does not produce NADH2, the first thing that came to mind is O - Omega being the end of the Greek (classical) alphabet. If that helps.

[@Kercinogen]

Hey love, just wanted to point out that NADH &FADH are generated wherever there is a dehydrogenase. Hope it helps.
