TCA Cycle Flashcards
1
Q
Carboxylation of pyruvate
A
Occurs in the fasted state; converts pyruvate to OAA, which in turn is converted to maleate and enters GNG
2
Q
Regulated steps of TCA
A
Formation of citrate from OAA and acetyl coA
Conversion of isocitrate to alpha KG via isocitrate DH
Conversation of alpha KG to succinyl coA via KGDH
3
Q
What is the energy producing step in the TCA cycle?
A
Conversion of succinyl CoA to succinctness (produces GTP)
4
Q
Which step produces NADH?
A
Isocitrate to alpha KG
5
Q
Which step produces FADH2?
A
Succinct to fumarate
