Q

why is succinyl coa synthetase important

A
  • uses SLP
  • nucleoside triphosphate is made - atp in most prok
  • gtp in euk
  • driven by hydrolysis of CoA ester
  • inolves phosphohistidine

Q

what are the characteristics of riboflavin vitamin b12

A
  • coenzyme: FAD, FMN
  • oxidation reduction
    growth retardation
18
Q

why is fumarase a bidrecrtional rxn

A
  • lyase reaction
  • prochiral differentiation= molecule that is not chiral has the potential to become chiral
19
Q

what is the product of tca in euk

A
  • 2 co2
  • 1 gtp= atp equivalent
  • 3 nadh
  • 1 fadh2
    -(4 reduced coenzues)
20
Q

how is pyruvate dh regulated

A

producut inhibition by NADH Nad+ for binding sites e3
-acetyl w/ CoA for binding site e2

21
Q

what does Pyr. DH do to enzymes E2 and E3

A
  • drive them backwards
  • keeps E2 in acetylated form unable to accept hydroxyethyl gp from E1
22
Q

how to control phosphorylation

A
  • phosphoryl of side chain OH,S,T,Y residues or imidazole= N of His
  • transfer of ATP
  • causes cascades of one kinase to another
  • amplify signals
23
Q

which enzyme is used by reversible phosphorylation of pyruvate DH

A

enzyme 1
- deacitvated by PDH kinase

24
Q

what activatdes PDH kinase

A
  • acetyl co a, nadh/Nad+, or ATP
    this leads to the deactivation
25
Q

when does PDH switch off

A

when the energy is high and biosynthetic intermediates are high

26
Q

what keeps PDH kinase active

A
  • pyruvate, ADP, Ca+2
  • low signal = make atp
27
Q

enzyme 1 is activated by what in regulation of pDH

A

-dephosphorylation PDH phophatase

28
Q

what are some main points of TCA and PDH rxn

A
  1. occurs in mito matrix except for succinate DH( membrane bound)
  2. PDH, citrate synthasae, isocitrate dh, alpha keto dh = irrreversible
  3. irreversible = regulated
29
Q

what are the main regulatory enzymes of tca

A
  • isocitrate DH
  • PDH
30
Q

which rxns are inhibited by NADH and ATP

A
  • pdh
    -citrate synthase
  • isocitate
  • alpha keto dh
31
Q

what is the enzyme that makes cycle underectional

A

alpha keto dh

32
Q

what does succinal co a synthetase use to generate atp

A

SLP

33
Q

what are the anaplerotic reactons and what is anaplerotic

A
  • replenishes intermediates
  • Pyruvate carb
    -PEP carboxy
  • malic enzyme
34
Q

what does pyruvate carb do

A
  • converts pyruvate to oxalocae
    found in liver, kidney
35
Q

what does pep carboxy do

A

converts PEP –> oxalocaetate
- higher in plants, yeast, bacteria not animals

36
Q

what does malic enzyme do

A

pyruv–> malate
widely distributed by prok and euk

37
Q

what is the role of aspartate transaminase in tca

A

facilitates the conversion of aspartate ito oxalocaetate , linking nitrogen metabolish with central carbon metabolism

38
Q

what is the first enzyme of gluconeogenesis

A

pyruvate carboxylase

39
Q

what does pyruv carbox do again

A
  • catalyzes the atp and biotin dependent conversionof pyr to oxalocatee in mitochondrial matrix
40
Q

what happens to carboxyl c of acetate

A

turns into co2 in the second turn of the cycle

41
Q
A
