inThe citric acid cycle there are three reactions of the citric
acid cycle it's self that are regulated:
-citrate synthase which is where ATP inhibits in in
citeo
-isocitrate dehydrogenase: alosterrically activated by Ca2+
and ADP also is inhibited by NADH
- alpha ketoglutarate dehydrogenase which is where Ca2+
increases the rate of formation of succinyl-CoA
what would happen if all three of these reactions were not
present? what would happen if citrate synthase was not functioning,
what would happen...
Assuming that all the 14C-labeled Acetyl-CoA formed enters the
citric acid cycle at the same time, draw the citric acid cycle
intermediates up to and including malate, and indicate the position
of the 14C-label in each intermediate.
Show the three reactions in the citric acid cycle in which NADH
is produced. Including the structures. None of these reactions
involves molecular oxygen (O2), but all three reactions are
strongly inhibited by anaerobic conditions. Explain why.
In the citric acid cycle, malate is oxidized to oxaloacetate by
the enzyme malate dehydrogenase, which uses NAD+ as an electron
acceptor. In cells, the ratio of [NAD+]/[NADH] is kept very high.
Given the following standard reduction potentials, explain why it
is so important for cells to maintain this ratio. Justify your
answer with words, equations and diagrams.
oxaloacetate + 2H+ + 2e- -> malate
E°red= -0.166 V
NAD+ + H+ + 2e- > NADH
E°red= -0.320
Which reactions in the citric acid cycle are irreversible under
