TCA / Krebs Cycle / Citric Acid Cycle - Basics for Beginners - Biochemistry Lesson

The video tutorial explains the tricarboxylic acid cycle, also known as the Krebs or Citric Acid Cycle. It covers the conversion of pyruvate to Acetyl CoA, the formation of citrate, and the subsequent steps leading to the regeneration of oxaloacetate. The tutorial highlights the regulatory mechanisms of key enzymes and the energy yield from the cycle, including ATP, NADH, and FADH2 production. It also provides mnemonic aids for remembering the sequence of reactions and discusses the energy efficiency of the cycle.
