Krebs Cycle Flashcards
1
Q
What is Step One of the Krebs cycle?
A
4C oxaloacetate to 6C citrate
Other products: Acetyl coA to coA
Enzyme: citrate synthase
2
Q
What is step two?
A
Citrate (tertiary alcohol) to isocitrate (secondary alcohol)
Enzyme: aconitase
3
Q
What is step three?
A
Isocitrate is decarboxylised and oxidised to alpha-ketoglutarate
Produces NADH and H+
Enzyme: isocitrate dehydrogenase
4
Q
What is step four?
A
Alpha-ketoglutarate decarboxylised and oxidised to Succinyl coA
Alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex
