Title: Is mixed anhydride associated with with the succinyl-CoA synthetase reaction?
Post by: Judy on April 15, 2021, 07:27:44 AM
Which high-energy bond is associated with the succinyl-CoA synthetase reaction?
A)acyl phosphate
B)thioester
C)phosphohistidine
D)mixed anhydride
E)All of the answers are correct

I don't think D is correct. Could someone help me? please.

This enzyme has an interesting mechanism.  What do think is meant by the term mixed anhydride?  Can you think of any examples of mixed anhydrides in biochemistry?  There are a number of compounds that fit this bill.
