lecture 5 Flashcards
catabolic processes involve
glucose fatty acids, & amino acids
tricarboxylic citric acid cycle
TCA, Krebs
citric acid cycle is
amphibolic with roles in both catabolism and anabolism
citric acid cycle is a central pathway for
recovering energy from several metabolic fuels
citric acid cycle intermediates can also serve as
precursors for biosynthetic pathways
anaplerotic reactions
reactions that replenish intermediates depleted by other reactions
anabolic use of TCA cycle intermediates
gluconeogenesis
lipid biosynthesis
amino acid biosynthesis
porphyrin biosynthesis
gluconeogenesis
malate -> OAA->-> glucose
lipid biosynthesis
citrate-> OAA + Acetyl CoA->-> lipids
Amino Acid biosynthesis
OAA and alpha-ketoglutarate
poryphyrin biosynthesis
succinyl CoA
TCA cycle takes place in the
mitochondria
outer membrane
permeable to anything smaller than 5 kD
inner membrane
permeable to only O2, H2O and CO2
what do the membranes do
transport proteins required for everything else
pyruvate from glycolysis is split
acetyl group added to coenzyme A
-generates one NADH
-generates one CO2
Acetyl-CoA combines with oxaloacetate to form citrate
citrate enters the “cycle”
one 2-Carbon acetyl group of citrate is oxidized
-eight reactions
-produces 2 CO2
-produces 3 NADH, 1 FADH2
-1 GTP/ATP
-regenerates oxaloacetate
preparation : generation of Acetyl-CoA
Coenzyme A(CoA-SH)
derived from B-vitamins
