Acetyl CoA and CAC Flashcards
What is Acetyl-CoA made of
acetate and coenzyme A linked by thioester bond
what is Aoenzyme A made of
AMP
vita B5
mercaptoethylamine
succinyl COA
metabolic intermeidate of CAC
fatty acyl COA
derivative acylated with a fatty acid
what is the unacylated form of Coenzyme called
CoASH
What can acetyl-CoA be formed from
Cars
fatty acids
amino acids
what can acetyl-CoA serve as
substrate of CAC
metabolic precursor for fatty acids, ketone bodies, cholesteral
how does glycose get to acetyl CoA
glycolysis to pyruvate which undergoes oxidative decarboxylation
how do free fatty acids become acetyl CoA
beta oxidation
how do amino acids become acetyl CoA
demaination and oxidation
what is the major source of pyruvate
glycolytic pathway
Is the PDH complex reversible
no
What are the 3 enzymes of the PDH complex
pyruvate decarboylase
dihydrolipoyl transacetylase
dihydrolipoyldehydrogenase
first step of PDH complex
pyruvate decarboicated to form hydroexyethyl derivative bound to TPP
second step of PDH complex
hydroxyethyl intermediate oxidated to acetyl group by transfer of disulfide form of lipoic acid bound to dihydrolipoyl transcetylase
3rd step of PDH complex
acetyl group trransfered to CoASH by transacetylase
4th step of PDH complex
regen lipoic acid via dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase
5th step of PDH compelx
FAD2 reoxidated to FAD by dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase. produces NADH
waht are the products of PDH complex
Acetyl CoA, CO2, NADH, H+
What is TPPP
pyrophosphorylated form of thiamin
Where is the PDH complex
mitochondrial matrix
where is pyruvate generated
cytosol
What is the general reaction of PDH compelx
pyrucate is converted to acetyl-CoA via loss of DO2
what happens to the NADH in PDH complex
oxidized by ETS, resulting in generation of 3 ATPs
what are teh 5 coenzymes of PDH complex reaction
CoA, NAD+, TPP, lipoamide, FAD
what are the 2 soluble coenzymes of PDH complex reaction
CoA, NAD+
what are the 3 tightly bound coenzyme of PDH compelx
TPP, lipoamide, FAD
What are the 4 B vitamins in coenzyme strucutres
thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, pantothetnic acid
waht is thiamin assocaited with
TPP
