TCA, B-oxidation, oxidative phosphorylation Flashcards
TCA cycle rxn 1 type
C-C bond formation by claisen condensation
TCA cycle rxn 1 enzyme
citrate synthase
TCA cycle rxn 1
acetyl-coA + oxaloacetate = citrate
TCA cycle rxn 2 type
isomerization
TCA cycle rxn 2 enzyme
aconitase
TCA cycle rxn 2
citrate to isocitrate
(cis-aconitase intermediate)
TCA cycle rxn 2 reason
citrate is a poor substrate for oxidation
isocitrate has secondary -OH which can be oxidized
citrate chirality
prochiral: aconitase removes pro-R H of pro-R arm
TCA cycle rxn 3 type
oxidative decarboxylation
TCA cycle rxn 3 enzyme
isocitrate dehydrogenase
- link to e- transport chain
TCA cycle rxn 3
isocitrate to a-ketoglutarate
TCA cycle rxn 3 intermediate
oxalosuccinate
TCA cycle rxn 4 type
oxidative decarboxylation
TCA cycle rxn 4 enzyme
a-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase
- complex
TCA cycle rxn 4
a-ketoglutarate to succinyl-coA
TCA cycle rxn 5 type
substrate-level phosphorylation
TCA cycle rxn 5 enzyme
succinyl-coA synthetase
TCA cycle rxn 5
succinyl-coA to succinate
- synthesis is driven by hydrolysis of coA ester
