Term
Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex rxn
Definition
Pyruvate + CoA + NAD+ → Acetyl-CoA + CO2 + NADH + 2 H+
Term
Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex usually links -
Definition
sugar breakdown to TCA cycle
Term
Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex energy carriers
Definition
Reducing power: 1 NADH/pyruvate (2/glucose)
No ATP
Term
pyruvate dehydrogenase useful precursor metabolite
Definition
Acetyl-CoA for lipid biosynthesis
Term
Under low O2, facultative anaerobes turn off PDH/PDC (why?)
Definition
Term
Tricarboxylic Acid (TCA) Cycle Only in organisms with
Definition
an electron transport system/chain
Aerobic and anaerobic respires
NO oblligate fermenters
Term
(TCA) Cycle general rxn
Definition
Oxidize acetyl-CoA to 2 CO2 (2C; typically from pyruvate dehydrogenase to 2CO2 (2X1 C)
Remember TCA occurs twice per glucose
Term
(TCA) Cycle steps
net
Definition
9 steps
Some intermediates can be precursor metabolite for aa biosynthesis-reduces energy carrier yeild

Overall(1 cycle-double for 1 glucose
Acetyl-CoA + 3 NAD+ + FAD + ADP + Pi → 2 CO2 + 3 NADH + 3 H+ + FADH2 + ATP
Term
Dehydrogenase
Definition
Reducing power (NADH)
Term
step 1 TCA
Definition
Oxaloacetate + acetyl-CoA + H2O → citrate + CoA
4C +2C ->6C
Citrate synthase
Term
step 2 TCA
Definition
Citrate → cis-aconitate + H2O
6C-> 6C
aconitase
Term
step 3 TCA
Definition
Cis-aconitate + H2O → isocitrate
6C-> 6C
aconitase
Steps 2 and 3: overall isomerization by aconitase
Term
step 4 TCA
Definition
Isocitrate + NAD+ → α-ketoglutarate (α-KG) + CO2 + NADH + H+
6C ->5C+1C
Isocitrate dehydrogenase
EC:1 NADH formed
Term
step 5 TCA
Definition
α-KG + NAD+ + CoA → succinyl-CoA + CO2 + NADH + H+
5C -> 4C+1C
2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase
EC: 1 NADH formed
Term
step 6 TCA
Definition
Succinyl-CoA + ADP (or GDP) + Pi → succinate + ATP (or GDP) + CoA
4C-> 4C
Succinate dehydrogenase (ETC)
EC: ATP (or GDP) formed
Term
step 7 TCA
Definition
Succinate + FAD → fumarate + FADH2
EC: 1 FADH2 formed –immediately consumed/recycled by ETC
Succinate dehydrogenase (ETC)
ECL 1 FADH2 formed- immediately consumed/recycled by ETc
Term
step 8 TCA
Definition
Fumarate + H2O → malate
4C-> 4C
Fumarase
Term
Step 9 TCA
Definition
Malate + NAD+ → oxaloacetate + NADH + H+
4C-> 4C
Malate dehydrogenase
Energy carrier: 1 NADH formed
Term
