LECTURE 13 Flashcards
The Krebs sucked oxidized the remaining 2 carbons from pyruvate to 2
CO2
Krebs cycles generates
1 GTP (or ATP) per cycle via substrate level phosphorylation
The Krebs cycle reduces
3 NAD+ to 3 NADH and 1 FAD to 1 FADH2 per cycle
- the reduced NADH and FADH2 shuttle their high potential E electrons to an electron transport chain
FAD means
Flavin adenine dinucleotide
Krebs cycle occurs in the
Matrix of the mitochondria
Steps (8) for Krebs cycle
1) acetyl groups of CoA combine with oxaloacetate, forming citrate
2) citrate is converted to its isomer, isocitrate
3) isocitrate is oxidized reducing NAD+ to NADH, releasing CO2
4) a-ketoglutarate is oxidized, Reducing NAD+ to NADH, releasing CO2
5) CoA is displaced by inorganic phosphate, which is then quickly transferred to GDP (guanosine diphosphate) to make GTP, via substrate level phosphorylation
6) 2 hydrogens are transferred from succinct entry to FAD, forming FADH2 (oxidizing succinctness to fumarate)
- enzyme = succinct energy dehydrogenase complex
7) H2O added to fumerate, and bonds are rearranged to create Malate
8) malate is oxidized, Reducing NAD+ to NADH
- this regenerates oxaloacetate and completes the cycle.
GTP
A form of energy currency but is more restricted in its uses then ATP.
Succinylcholine CoA sythase can catalyze the formation of
either ATP or GTP.
Anabolic tissue make
GTP
A catabolic tissue make
ATP
One role for GTP in the cell is to provide energy to make
Proteins
Electron transport chain
Couples the E released form “falling” e- with the pumping p+
Most chains companies are multi-proteins complexes
Complex 1
NADH dehydrogenase
FMN = flavin mononucleotide
Fe*S = iron-sulphur protein (has both iron and sulphur atoms bound)
Complex 2
Succinate dehydrogenase
This is the same enzyme that done step 6 in Krebs cycle
- succinate —-> fumarate
- FAD —-> FADH2 (e- added directly to the electron transport chain during the rxn)
Complex 3
Cytochrome bc1 complex
Complex 4
Cytochrome C oxidase
Q = ubiquinone (coenzyme Q)
Small hydrophobic (non protein); similar to plastoquinone. Can move around within the membrane
Cytochrome C
- Mobile
- hydrophilic (soluble)
- all cytochromes are proteins that have special heme molecules that accept and donates e-
NADH and FADH2 each
donates pair of e- near the top of the electron transport chain
Carriers in the chain alternate
reduced and oxidized states as they accept and donate e- ( the source of e- in glucose)
The chain components are orders in
increasing strength of electron acceptors (oxidizing agents)
