Q

What are the key enzymes in the citrate cycle?

A
  • Pyruvate dehydrogenase: converts pyruvate to acetyl-CoA and CO2
  • Citrate synthase: converts oxaloacetate to citrate and regenerate CoA
  • Isocitrate dehydrogenase: converts isocitrate to α-ketoglutarate, NADH, and CO2
  • α-Ketoglutarate dehydrogenase: α-ketoglutarate to succinyl-CoA

Q

What does 1 round of the citrate cycle yield?

A
  • Transfer of 8 electrons
  • Generates 3 NADH x 2.5 = 7.5 ATP
  • Generates 1 FADH2 x 1.5 = 1.5 ATP
  • 1 GTP = 1 ATP
  • Each cycle results in production of 10 ATP
  • Mostly via oxidative phosphorylation of 3 NADH and 1 FADH2

Q

What are the 5 steps in the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex?

A

1.Pyruvate binds and is decarboxylated causing the formation of hydroxyethyl-TPP
2. Acetyl group transferred to lipoamide
3. Acetyl group transfered to CoA
4. Dihydroxylipoamide oxidized to lipoamide
5. FAD oxidized forming FADH2 which can reduce NAD+ to NADH
