Lecture 5: Key Summary Points Flashcards
What are the prosthetic groups of Pyruvate Dehydrogenase?
E1-TPP, E2-lipoic acid, E3-FAD
What are the product of pyruvate dehydrogenase?
E1-CO2, E2-acetyl-CoA and E3-NADH
What is vitamin B5, and what is its biological role?
Pantothenic acid -> coenzyme A
KGDH is exactly the same as PDH
Which are the two oxidative decarboxylation reaction in the TCA cycle?
1st: IDH
2nd: Alpha KDGH
Which enzyme is the only enzyme that’s in the inner mitochondrial membrane?
Succinate dehydrogenase or SDH
Why do we use FAD and not an NADH?
Because we need to oxidize the C-C single bond

It’s human race deficiency

What is citrate synthase?
It biosynthesizes citrate
What is the first committed step of the TCA cycle?
Citrate synthase
Which TCA enzyme undergoes induced fit?
Citrate synthase
Which TCA enzyme is poisoned by fluoroacetate?
Aconitase
What is the intermediate for aconitase?
Cis-aconitase
Which is the first oxidative decarboxylation reaction in the TCA cycle?
IDH
