Citric Acid Cycle AKA – Kreb’s Cycle or TCA cycle Generate 3 NADH, FADH2, GTP, CoA, 2 CO2 Located in mitocondria Accounts for many intermediates
Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex Multienzyme complex Non-covalently bound Advantages Enhanced reaction rates (limited diffusion) Substrate channeling (limited side reactions) Coordinated regulation of all steps Pyruvate dehydrogenase (E1) Dihydrolipoyl transacetylase (E2) Dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase (E3)
Dihydolipoyl transacetylase (E2) Intact PDH E1 24 – E1 24 – E2 12 – E3
Reaction 1 Decarboxylation of pyruvate
Reaction 2 Hydroxyethyl group transfer
Reaction 3 Transesterification
Reaction 4 Oxidation of E2 by E3
Reaction 5 Oxidation of E3 by FAD
