succinylgroep
Succinylgroep refers to the succinyl moiety, which is a functional group derived from succinic acid. Succinic acid is a dicarboxylic acid with the formula HOOC-(CH2)2-COOH. When it loses two hydrogen atoms from its carboxyl groups, it forms the succinyl group, characterized by the structure -OC(CH2)2CO-. This group is a common building block in organic chemistry and biochemistry.
In organic synthesis, the succinyl group can be incorporated into larger molecules through various reactions, such
Biologically, the succinyl group plays a crucial role in metabolism. It is an intermediate in the citric
