Mitochondria[edit]

Oxaloacetate is converted into Malate or Phosphoenolpyruvate before it leaves the mitochondria, does that mean it cannot leave in oxaloacetate form?

Interconversion picture[edit]

The picture is misleading because it does not relate to any biological process - at pH7, carboxylic acids are deprotonated - dehydrogenation does not produce free H2, it is coupled to reduction of NAD+ - similarly, NH3 is not released as free ammonia, as shown - etc —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.242.88.79 (talk) 16:32, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Enol form(s)[edit]

Properties section says "The enol forms of oxaloacetic acid are particularly stable, so much so that the two tautomer have different melting points (152 °C for the cis isoform and 184 °C for the trans isoform)." Does this mean the structure shown is the keto form and that there are two enol (iso)forms ? A diagram of at least one of the enol isoforms would be helpful ? - Rod57 (talk) 05:48, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Rated "high" because oxaloacetate redirects here and is highschool/SAT biology content. - tameeria 20:31, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
