Answer:

Citrate Synthase facilitates the formation of citrate by deprotonating Acetyl CoA and by protonating the carbonyl oxygen of oxaloacetate

Explanation:

Citrate synthase is a key enzyme in the citric acid cycle that functions to catalyze the formation of citrate from oxaloacetate and acetyl-CoA: acetyl-CoA + oxaloacetate + H2O >> citrate + CoA-SH (Coenzyme A ). This enzyme contains three amino acids at its active site that work together to catalyze the conversion of acetyl-CoA and oxaloacetate into citrate. This active site acts by abstracting (deprotonating) a proton from the alpha carbon of Acetyl CoA which serves as the nucleophile. Subsequently, the active site of the enzyme also protonates the carbonyl oxygen of oxaloacetate, which then suffers nucleophilic attack and thereby facilitating nucleophilic substitution reaction.

Mkey [24]
Dominant, <span>if a dominant allele (wrinkled) and a recessive allele (round) are together, forming a heterozygous plant, any possible combination of alleles is possible when the plant breeds, so the seed with a wrinkled allele can still produce round seeds. </span>

What steps are involved in creating a hydroelectric power plant
olga_2 [115]
In order to create a hydroelectric power plant, you need water, hence the prefix hydro-. Most times, people use dams to block the water, which in a way stores it. When you need to produce electricity, you release some of the water which flows through a turbine making it spin, which then activates a generator to produce electricity.
