Exam 2 Concepts Flashcards
components of ATP
adenosine (adenine + ribose)
triphosphate moeiety
why is ATP unstable?
- electrostatic repulsion of components of the ATP molecule
- products of ATP hydrolysis are better solvated
- there is resonance stabilization of the products of ATP hydrolysis
pyruvate dehydrogenase complex - function
convert pyruvate to acetyl CoA
pyruvate dehydrogenase - cofactor
TPP
dihydrolipoyl transacetylase - cofactor
lipoamide and CoA
dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase - cofactor
NAD and FAD
what is the central pathway of aerobic metabolism
Krebs Cycle
products of Krebs cycle
3 NADH
1 FADH2
1 GTP
unimportant products: 2CO2, 1QH2
what are the NADH producing steps of Krebs
- isocitrate –> alpha-ketoglutarate
- alpha-ketoglutarate –> succinyl CoA
- malate –> oxaloacetate
what is the GTP producing step of Krebs
- succinyl-CoA –> succinate
what is the FADH2 producing step of Krebs
- succinate –> fumarate
what is the total energy liberated per mol of acetyl coa entering krebs
3NADH x 2.5 = 7.5
1FADH2 x 1.5 = 1.5
1GTP = 1
total: 10 ATP
at what steps is the TCA regulated
- acetyl coA –> citrate
catalyzed by citrate synthase - isocitrate –> alpha ketoglutarate
catalyzed by isocitrate dehydrogenase - alpha ketoglutarate –> succinyl CoA
catalyzed by alphaketoglutarate dehydrogenase
effect of fluoroacetate
inhibits aconitase (prevents formation of isocitrate)
effect of arsenite
inhibits alpha ketoglutarate and pyruvate dehydrogenase
where is the ETC located
mitochondrial matrix
how the electron carriers in the ETC arranged
ascending redox potential
what is the last electron acceptor in ETC
oxygen
ETC - what is complex I

cytochrome C oxidase
ETC - what coenzymes in complex I
FMN, Fe-S
ETC - what coenzymes in complex II
FAD, Fe-S
ETC - what coenzymes in complex III
Heme-Fe, Fe-S
ETC - what coenzymes in complex IV
Heme-Fe, Cu
ETC - inhibitors of complex I
rotenone, piercidine, amytal
ETC - inhibitors of complex II
antimycin
ETC - inhibitors of comples III
CN, CO, H2S
where does FADH enter ETC
complex II
what does oligomycin inhibit
ATP synthase
what does cyanide inhibit
Na-K pump
effect of uncoupler
proton gradient not converted to ATP
thermogenin - function & mechanism
for brown fat heat generation, uncouples ATP production –> energy is converted to heat
2 shuttles of NADH into mitochondrion
- glycerophosphate shuttle
2. malate aspartate shuttle
glycerophosphate shuttle transport results in how many ATP per NADH
2 ATP/NADH
malate aspartate shuttle transport results in how many ATP per NADH
3 ATP/NADH
effect of valinomycin
uncoupler that dissipates proton gradient
Leigh disease - caused by
dysfunction in oxidative phosphorylation
lingual lipase and gastric lipase act upon what bonds in TAG
cleaves 3rd ester bond, forming 1,2 diacylglycerol and FFA
pancreatic lipase acts upon what bonds in TAG
cleaves 1st and 3rd ester bonds, forming 2 diacylglycerol and FFA
other lipid digestion enzymes include
phospholipase and cholesterol esterase
orlistat - what does in inhibit
pancreatic lipase
ezetimbe - what does it inhibit
cholesterol absorption
what lipoprotein has highest protein
VLDL
what lipoprotein has highest cholestrol
LDL
what lipoprotein has highest TAG
chylomicron
what apoprotein is unique to chylomicrons
B48
what apoprotein is unique to LDL
B100
what apoprotein is unique to VLDL
CII
cholesterol ester transfer protein
apoprotein D
CII is a cofactor for:
lipoprotein lipase
AI is a cofactor for:
LCAT
chylomicron - function
transport of TAGs from intestine to peripheral tissue
LDL - function
cholesterol transport
VLDL - function
transport of TAG from liver to peripheral tissue
what is the insulin dependent glucose transporter
GLUT 4
what carbohydrate transporter can also transport fructose
GLUT 5
what is the committed step in glycolysis
phosphorylation of glucose to G6P
what catalyzes the committed step in glycolysis
hexokinase or glucokinase
where is hexokinase found
muscle and peripheral tissue
where is glucokinase found
liver
what has a higher Km? glucokinase or hexokinase
glucokinase
how is hexokinase regulated
negative feedback by G6P
[T/F] glucokinase is most active when well-fed
T
what happens in the perparatory phase of glycolysis
splitting of G6P to DHAP and G3P
DHAP is converted to G3P
2 ATP used
