For 10 points, name this stage of cellular respiration that is preceded by glycolysis and followed by oxidative phosphorylation.
A molecule used in the first step of this process is produced with the assistance of thiamine pyrophosphate and lipoate in the PDC complex. A dehydration reaction followed by a hydration reaction converts this pathway's namesake molecule into an isomer via the action of aconitase. A single GTP molecule is produced in this pathway through the conversion of succinyl CoA into succinate, which is then oxidized into fumarate. Before the first step of this process, pyruvate is made into acetyl CoA.
