kreb cycle Flashcards
what does high energy/ high ATP tell the TCA cycle?
to stop
would increase in ATP/NADH/GTP/ Succinyl CoA inhibit or activate the TCA cycle?
inhibit- tells the cell to slow down because it does not need to make any more energy
what are the common activators of the TCA cycle?
calcium and ADP
What are the 4 regulated enzymes?
citrate synthetase, isocitrate dehydrogense, alpha ketogluterate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase
how is citrate synthatase activated?
by substrate availabilty
what inhibits citrate synthetase?
ATP, NADH, succinly CoA and fatty acyl CoA
what is citrate synthetase activated by?
calcium and ADP
what is isocitrate inhibited by?
ATP, NADH
What is isocitrate activated by?
ADP, Calcium
what is special about alph ketoglutarate?
it requires the same coenzymes as pyruvate dehydrogenase
what activates alpha KG dehydrogenase?
calcium
what inhibits alpha KG dehydrogenase?
ATP, GTP, NADH, and succinyl CoA
what activates succinate dehydrogenase?
ADP, inorganoc phosphate and succinate (negative feedback)
what inhibits succinates dehydrogenase?
OOA the end product
will the inhibition of one enzyme stop the TCA cycle completely?
yes
What does citrate inhibit in glycolysis?
PFK-1
why is citrate important for the TCA cycle?
it generates energy
