At what point in either beta-oxidation or citric acid cycle is ATP used?
I see where ATP is produced in citric acid cycle (originally as GTP) as when succinyl CoA is converted to Succinate, but I can't find any part where ATP is required. Apparently according to my lecture notes, it is required during beta oxidation somewhere but I can't see exactly where? Please help, thanks!
UPDATE: i found out that the 2 ATP are used during fatty acid activtion, but I only see where one is required. (??)
(when fatty acid is added to 1 ATP to form acyladenylate) Where is other one required?? thanks
