The pathway can start in various spots. First step in this case starts with NADH interacting with a menaquinone oxidoreductase resulting in the release of a NADH and a hydrogen Ion, at the same time in the inner membrane a menaquinone interacts with 2 electrons and 2 hydrogen ions thus releasing a menaquinol. This allows for 4 hydrogen ions to be transferred from the cytosol to the periplasmic space. The menaquinol then interacts with a trimethylamine N-oxide reductase resulting in the release of 2 hydrogen ion and 2 electrons. At the same time trimethylamine N-oxide and 3 hydrogen ions interact with the enzyme trimethylamine N-oxide reductase resulting in the release of a trimethylamine and a water molecule, this reaction happening in the periplasmic space. The second set of reactions starts with a hydrogen interacting with a menaquinone oxidoreductase resulting in the release of two electrons being released into the inner membrane which then react with with 2 hydrogen ion and a menaquinone to produce a menaquinol. This menaquinol then reacts with a trimethylamine N-oxide reductase following the same steps as mentioned before. The third set of reactions starts with with formate interacting with a formate dehydrogenase-O resulting in a release of carbon dioxide and a hydrogen ion, this releases 2 electrons that interact with a menaquinone and two hydrogen ions. This releases a menaquinol which then reacts with a trimethylamine N-oxide reductase following the same steps as mentioned before

Cardiolipin (CL) is an important component of the inner mitochondrial membrane where it constitutes about 20% of the total lipid composition. It is essential for the optimal function of numerous enzymes that are involved in mitochondrial energy metabolism (Wikipedia). Cardiolipin biosynthesis occurs mainly in the mitochondria, but there also exists an alternative synthesis route for CDP-diacylglycerol that takes place in the endoplasmic reticulum. This second route may supplement this pathway. All membrane-localized enzymes are coloured dark green in the image. First, dihydroxyacetone phosphate (or glycerone phosphate) from glycolysis is used by the cytosolic enzyme glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase [NAD(+)] to synthesize sn-glycerol 3-phosphate. Second, the mitochondrial outer membrane enzyme glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase esterifies an acyl-group to the sn-1 position of sn-glycerol 3-phosphate to form 1-acyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate (lysophosphatidic acid or LPA). Third, the enzyme 1-acyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase converts LPA into phosphatidic acid (PA or 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate) by esterifying an acyl-group to the sn-2 position of the glycerol backbone. PA is then transferred to the inner mitochondrial membrane to continue cardiolipin synthesis. Fourth, magnesium-dependent phosphatidate cytidylyltransferase catalyzes the conversion of PA into CDP-diacylglycerol. Fifth, CDP-diacylglycerol--glycerol-3-phosphate 3-phosphatidyltransferase synthesizes phosphatidylglycerophosphate (PGP). Sixth, phosphatidylglycerophosphatase and protein-tyrosine phosphatase dephosphorylates PGP to form phosphatidylglycerol (PG). Last, cardiolipin synthase catalyzes the synthesis of cardiolipin by transferring a phosphatidyl group from a second CDP-diacylglycerol to PG. It requires a divalent metal cation cofactor.

The process of oleic acid B-oxidation starts with a 2-trans,5-cis-tetradecadienoyl-CoA that can be either be processed by an enoyl-CoA hydratase by interacting with a water molecules resulting in a 3-hydroxy-5-cis-tetradecenoyl-CoA, which can be oxidized in the fatty acid beta-oxidation. On the other hand 2-trans,5-cis-tetradecadienoyl-CoA can become a 3-trans,5-cis-tetradecadienoyl-CoA through a isomerase. This results interact with a water molecule through a acyl-CoA thioesterase resulting in a hydrogen ion, a coenzyme A and a 3,5-tetradecadienoate

The pathway starts with trans-cinnamate interacting with a hydrogen ion, an oxygen molecule, and a NADH through a cinnamate dioxygenase resulting in a NAD and a cis-3-(3-Carboxyethenyl)-3,5-cyclohexadiene-1,2-diol which then interact together through a 2,3-dihydroxy-2,3-dihydrophenylpropionate dehydrogenase resulting in the release of a hydrogen ion, an NADH molecule and a 2,3 dihydroxy-trans-cinnamate. The second way by which the 2,3 dihydroxy-trans-cinnamate is acquired is through a 3-hydroxy-trans-cinnamate interacting with a hydrogen ion, a NADH and an oxygen molecule through a 3-(3-hydroxyphenyl)propionate 2-hydroxylase resulting in the release of a NAD molecule, a water molecule and a 2,3-dihydroxy-trans-cinnamate. The compound 2,3 dihydroxy-trans-cinnamate then interacts with an oxygen molecule through a 2,3-dihydroxyphenylpropionate 1,2-dioxygenase resulting in a hydrogen ion and a 2-hydroxy-6-oxonona-2,4,7-triene-1,9-dioate. The latter compound then interacts with a water molecule through a 2-hydroxy-6-oxononatrienedioate hydrolase resulting in a release of a hydrogen ion, a fumarate molecule and (2Z)-2-hydroxypenta-2,4-dienoate. The latter compound reacts spontaneously to isomerize into a 2-oxopent-4-enoate. This compound is then hydrated through a 2-oxopent-4-enoate hydratase resulting in a 4-hydroxy-2-oxopentanoate. This compound then interacts with a 4-hydroxy-2-ketovalerate aldolase resulting in the release of a pyruvate, and an acetaldehyde. The acetaldehyde then interacts with a coenzyme A and a NAD molecule through a acetaldehyde dehydrogenase resulting in a hydrogen ion, a NADH and an acetyl-coa which can be incorporated into the TCA cycle
