malate
Citric cycle intermediate
Malate is a salt or ester of malic acid, a compound found naturally in many fruits, particularly apples.
In biochemistry, malate plays a crucial role in the citric acid cycle, where it serves as an intermediate in cellular energy production.
The term appears frequently in scientific contexts discussing metabolism, plant biology, and food chemistry.
The enzyme converts fumarate to malate in the final steps of the cycle.
