Urgent Review - Exam 2 Flashcards
Irreversible reaction of TCA cycle/pace setting enzyme
Citrate synthase
Citrate synthase function
Oxaloacetate + acetyl to form citrate
Citrate synthase activity is dependent on:
Oxaloacetate and acetyl CoA concentration
Citrate synthase is inhibited by:
High level of citrate
Isocitrate dehydrogenase is an enzyme of:
TCA cycle
Isocitrate dehydrogenase stimulated by:
ADP
Isocitrate dehydrogenase inhibited by:
NADH
a-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase is inhibited by
Succinyl Coenzyme A (competes for CoA)
If energy charge is high in TCA cycle:
oxaloacetate goes to glucose
If energy charge is low in TCA cycle:
oxaloacetate replenishes the citric acid cycle
NADH carries protons and electrons to
NADH-CoQ reductase (Complex 1)
NAD+ is derived from
niacin B3
NAD+ accepts
1 hydrogen and 2 electrons
FAD+ is derived from
riboflavin B2
FAD accepts
2 hydrogen ions and 2 electrons
