KREBS CYCLE Flashcards
It is the final common pathway bec all biomolecules can enter
Krebs cycle
Other term for krebs cycle
Citric acid cycle
tricarboxylic acid
Where krebs cycle is located
Mitochondrial matrix
Three enzymes used to produce acetyl coA
Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex
During glycolysis,glucose is converted into
PYRUVATE
Pyruvate undergoes removal of carboxyl grp
Oxidative decarboxylation
Coenzymes used to produce acetyl coA
NAD FAD CoA SH NADH Lipoate TPP thymine pyro phosphate
Formation of NADH and FADH2 is catalyzed by
Dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase
E1
Pyruvate dehydrogenase
E2
Dihydrolipoyl transacetylase
E3
Dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase
Step 1:
Acetyl coA + _______ = Citrate
Enzyme used:
Oxaloacetate
Citrate synthase
Step 2: Citrate ➡️ Isocitrate
What enzyme?
Aconitase
This step shows you
rearrangement of func group or isomerization
reversible
Step 2: formation of isocitrate
Step that shows generation of NADH
3 oxidation of isocitrate to a-KT & CO2
4 oxidation of a-KT to succinyl coA and CO2
8 oxidation of malate to oxaloacetate
