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 if only isocitrate dehydrogenase was not working, what would happen of alpha ketoglutarate was not working?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Citrate synthase, isocitrate synthase, and alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase are the important enzymes in citric acid cycle. The activation or inhibition of these enzymes: synthases and dehydrogenase results in the formation of varying amount of their products.

When citrate synthase, isocitrate synthase, and alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase were not functioned properly, it would effect citric acid cycle negatively.

1. The citric acid cycle is a set of sequential reactions where 2 carbon atoms from Acetyl CoA (that derives from a glucose molecule) are coupled to a 4 carbon molecule. The carbon atoms from Acetyl CoA are released as CO2. Redox reactions and phosphorylation reactions are used to harvest energy in the form of ATP, NADH and FADH2. The product of these reactions is again a 4 carbon molecule that can be coupled with 2 carbon atoms from another...
