Cards

Term
pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (pdh)
Definition

pyruvate is converted to acetyl-CoA.

made of three enzymes and 5 coenzymes. 

Term
the three enzymes involved in the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex
Definition

pyruvate dehydrogenase

dihydrolypoyl transacetylase

dihydrolypoyl dehydrogenase 

Term
how does the PDH complex work?
Definition
substrate channeling and intermediates never leave the enzyme surface
Term
5 coenzymes involved in the pyruvate dehdrogenase complex
Definition

thiamin pyrophosphate(tpp)

nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide(NAD)

FAD

CoA

Lipoate/lipoic acid 

 

Term
enzyme that adds acetyl CoA to oxaloacetate to form citrate
Definition

citrate synthase

 

Term
enzyme that changes citrate to isocitrate
Definition
aconitase
Term
enzyme that change isocitrate to alpha-ketoglutarate
Definition
isocitrate dehydrogenase
Term
enzyme that changes alpha ketoglutarate to succinyl-CoA
Definition
alpha ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex
Term
enzyme that changes succinyl-CoA to succinate
Definition
succinyl-CoA synthetase
Term
enzyme that changes succinate to fumarate
Definition
succinate dehydrogenase
Term
enzyme that changes fumarate to malate
Definition
fumarase
Term
enzyme that change malate to oxaloacetate
Definition
malate dehydrogenase
Term
stereospecific enzyme
Definition
fumarase
Term
three enzymes that reduce NAD to NADH
Definition

isocitrate dehydrogenase

alpha ketoglutarate DH complex

malate dehydrogenase

Term
enzyme that reduce FAD to FADH2
Definition
succinate dehydrogenase(succinate to fumarate)
Term

rxn that yield GTP/ATP

Definition
succinyl-CoA to succinate(succinyl-CoA synthetase)
Term

malate

Definition

competitive inhibitor of succinate dehydrogenase

the enzyme can't bind to succinate to form fumarate

Term
irreversible rxns
Definition

acetyl-CoA to citrate

Isocitrate to alpha ketoglutarate

alpha ketoglutarate to succinyl-CoA

 

they are regulators of the TCA cycle

Term

anaplerotic rxns

 

Definition

pyruvate to oaa

pep to oaa

pyruvate to malate

Term
biotin
Definition

binds to CO2 and transports it to oxaloacetate

bound to pyruvate carboxylase

Term

inhibitors of the TCA cycle

Definition
NADH, ATP, Acetyl-CoA
Term
stimulators of TCA
Definition
AMP, NAD Ca2+
Term
thermodynamics of the TCA cycle
Definition

under cellular conditions, most rxns are in equilibrium
