Oxalate (systematic IUPAC name: ethanedioate) is an anion with the chemical formula C 2 O 2− 4. This dianion is colorless. It occurs naturally, including in some foods. It forms a variety of salts, for example sodium oxalate (Na 2 C 2 O 4), and several esters such as dimethyl oxalate ((CH 3) 2 C 2 O 4). It is a conjugate base of oxalic acid.
Oxaloacetic acid (also known as oxalacetic acid or OAA) is a crystalline organic compound with the chemical formula HO 2 CC(O)CH 2 CO 2 H. Oxaloacetic acid, in the form of its conjugate base oxaloacetate, is a metabolic intermediate in many processes that occur in animals.
Oxaloacetate + 2 H + + 2 e − → Malate-0.17 [10] While under standard conditions malate cannot reduce the more electronegative NAD +:NADH couple, in the cell the concentration of oxaloacetate is kept low enough that Malate dehydrogenase can reduce NAD + to NADH during the citric acid cycle. Fumarate + 2 H + + 2 e − → Succinate +0.03 [9]
In enzymology, an oxaloacetase (EC 3.7.1.1) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction: [1] oxaloacetate + H 2 O ⇌ {\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons } oxalate + acetate Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are oxaloacetate and H 2 O , whereas its two products are oxalate and acetate .
Sodium oxalate, or disodium oxalate, is a chemical compound with the chemical formula Na 2 C 2 O 4. It is the sodium salt of oxalic acid. It contains sodium cations Na + and oxalate anions C 2 O 2− 4. It is a white, crystalline, odorless solid, that decomposes above 290 °C. [2]
In enzymology, a malate oxidase (EC 1.1.3.3) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction (S)-malate + O 2 ⇌ {\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons } oxaloacetate + H 2 O 2 Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are (S)-malate and O 2 , whereas its two products are oxaloacetate and H 2 O 2 .
The carbonate oxalates are mixed anion compounds that contain both carbonate (CO 3) and oxalate (C 2 O 4) anions. Most compounds incorporate large trivalent metal ions, such as the rare earth elements. Some carbonate oxalate compounds of variable composition are formed by heating oxalates. [1]
Calcium oxalate (in archaic terminology, oxalate of lime) is a calcium salt of oxalic acid with the chemical formula CaC 2 O 4 or Ca(COO) 2. It forms hydrates CaC 2 O 4 ·nH 2 O, where n varies from 1 to 3. Anhydrous and all hydrated forms are colorless or white.
