Oxidative decarboxylation is a process in which carbon dioxide is produced through the removal of a carbon group as a result of oxidation reactions.[1] There are vital in many biological processes such as the citric acid cycle.
In the citric acid cycle it is used three times to generate CO2 whilst also reducing NAD+ to NADH. Firstly, pyruvate is converted by a pyruvate dehydrogenase complex to Acetyl CoA.[2] Secondly, using the enzyme Isocitrate dehydrogenase to α-Ketoglutarate and finally α-Ketoglutarate dehydrogenase is used to convert α-Ketoglutarate to Succinyl CoA.[3][4]
