Term
Pyruvate Dehydrogenase
Definition
E1 of PDH complex. Binds
Term
Dihydrolipoyl transacetylase
Definition
E2 of PDH complex. Transfers acetyl to CoA.
Term
Dihydrolipoyl Dehydrogenase
Definition
E3 of PDH complex. Regenerates FAD by removing H2 to NAD+ and to free solution
Term
5 co-factors of PDH
Definition
TPP (from thymine)
NAD+ (from Niacine, accepts electrons)
FAD+ (from riboflavin, accepts electron)
Lipoate (body makes, accepts electrons and acyls)
CoA (from pantathenic acid, is transferred)
Term
Yield from complete oxidation of pyruvate and Acetyl-CoA
Definition
Pyruvate: 12.5 (1 extra NADH from Acetyl-CoA)
Acetyl-CoA: 10 (1 ATP, 3 NADH, 1 FADH)
Term
The 4 intermediates of the CAC that can be used for biosynthetic intermediates
Definition
Citrate, alpha-Ketoglutarate, Succinyl-CoA, Oxaloacetate
Term
Intermediates of the Citric Acid Cycle
Definition
1. Oxaloacetate
2. Citrate
3. Isocitrate
4. alpha-Ketoglutarate
5. Succinyl-CoA
6. Succinate
7. Fumarate
8. Malate -> 1.
Term
Intermediate: Oxaloacetate/Acetyl-CoA
Definition
Oxalacetate + Acetyl-CoA -> Citrate + CoA

Mediated through Citrate synthase, condensation
Term
Intermediate: Citrate
Definition
Citrate -> Isocitrate

Isomerization, catalyzed by aconitase
Term
Intermediate: Isocitrate
Definition
Isocitrate + NAD+ -> alpha-ketoglutarate + NADH Oxidative carboxylation, catalyzed by isocitrate dehydrogenase
Term
Intermediate: alpha-ketoglutarate
Definition
alpha-keto glutarate + NAD+ -> Succinyl-CoA + NADH Oxidative decarboxylation catalyzed by alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenation complex
Term
Intermediate: Succinyl-CoA
Definition
Succinyl-CoA + ADP -> ATP + Succinate Substrate-level phosphorylation catalyzed by succinyl-CoA syntetase
Term
Intermediate: Succinate
Definition
Succinate + FAD -> Fumarate + FADH2 Dehydrogenation catalyzed by succinate dehydrogenase
Term
Intermediate: Fumarate
Definition
Fumarase + H2O -> Malate

Hydration catalyzed by fumarase
Term
Intermediate: Malate
Definition
Malate + NAD -> Oxaloacetate + NADH + H+

Dehydrogenation catalyzed by malate dehydrogenase
