What is the acronym for the inner circle of the citric acid cycle

After Dark Doctors Sell Drugs For Dear Students (ADDSDFDS)

What are the compounds on the outer circle of the cycle?

Citrate, Isocitrate, Alpha Ketogluterate, Succinyl CoA, Succinate, Fumarate, Malate, Oxaloacetate

What are the enzymes on the inner circle of the cycle?

Aconitase, Isocitrate dehydrogenase, Alpha Ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, Succinate synthase, Succinate dehydrogenase, Fumarase, Malate dehydrogenase, Citrate synthase

What is the rule to remember the order of the S compounds on the outer circle of the cycle?

Succinate comes late - so it is Succinyl CoA, then Succinate

What is the number of carbons in each compound on the outer circle of cycle, starting with citrate?

6, 6, 5, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4

What is the rule for Dehydrogenases and Synthesases on the inner circle of the cycle?

Dehydrogenases use the compound opposite as a prefix, whereas synthesases use the next compound in the circle - as they are ‘synthesising’ the next compound
