It ought to be aconitate, not acotinate. Very nice image otherwise.

Yes. Commons:Image:Citricacidcycle ball.svg has had that correction for a long while. William Avery (talk) 08:05, 19 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

shouldn't this image have the Superseeded|SVG tag?. how come it's featured even when there's a better version (a vector graphics one), sure, the other one's on commons, but shouldn't it have replaced this one a while ago?. JunCTionS 12:32, 19 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Nevermind, I just noticed that the image was originally an SVG but it's too big so some browsers and the wikipedia PNG renderer has some issues with it. really nice to have both options though. JunCTionS 12:43, 19 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Suggestion about the Diagram edit

Some of the steps of TCA cycle are reversible as many of you know: citrate to isocitrate, succinyl-coa to succinate, fumarate to malate, and malate to oxaloacetate. I'm not sure if the image could be easily updated but if arrows pointing in both directions could replace the single direction arrows for those reversible steps I think it would improve the diagram.

Another small suggestion, I believe the the structures cis-Aconitate and Oxalosuccinate are considered intermediates and are not present in most diagrams. While I praise this diagram for showing them I think it could be important to denote them as intermediates in some way, most organic chemistry texts denote intermediates by placing the structure inbetween 2 large brackets [].

I posted this is the main forum as well but I figured I would also post on the discussion specifically about the diagram. Mikesot (talk) 05:08, 5 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
