17
Q

What enzyme catalyzes the reaction of Isocitrate and alpha-ketoglutarate?

A

isocitrate dehydrogenase

18
Q

What inhibits isocitrate dehydrogenase? What impact does it have on the Kreb cycle?

A

Increase levels of ATP and NADH can inhibit isocitrate dehydrogensase slowlying the cycle down because they cell has enough energy

19
Q

What increases isocitrate dehydrogenase? What impact does it have on the Kreb cycle?

A

ADP and increase Ca2+ increases the enzyme causing the cycle to speed up
