	'''Succinyl-Coa synthetase''' catalyzes the reversible reaction of succinyl-CoA + NDP + Pi <-> succinate + CoA + NTP (where N is either adenosine or guanosine. It can be found in Escherichia coli and is the fifth step in the citric acid cycle. Due to its involvement in the citric acid cycle it is very important in all living cells that use oxygen as a part of cellular respiration. This entire process (Citric acid cycle) is necessary in producing one GTP or ATP, three NADHs, and two carbon dioxides.
