Q

lipoamide is found on what domain of the PDH complex?
A. E1
B. E2
C. E3

17
Q

Regeneration of the lipoamide molecule requires the addition of what cofactor?

A

FAD, which becomes FADH2

18
Q

FAD is produced after the regeneration of lipoamide. What are the other products of this reaction?

A

NADH and H+ (high e- electrons that go into the ETC)

19
Q

Draw the PDH complex. Include the stochiometric cofactors, catalytic cofactors, and the reactions.

A

Place the picture here.

20
Q
The reoxidation of the lipoamide chain occurs in what PDH subunit?
A. E1
B. E2
C. E3
D. All of the above
21
Q
Which stoichiometric cofactor "visits" each subunit?
A. NAD+
B. FAD
C. Lipoamide
D. TPP
22
Q

_____ activates pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatases. This results in increased PDH activity.

A

ADP and pyruvate; ADP indicates a low energy charge and pyruvate is a PDH substrate

23
Q

______ acts to activate pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase, which decreases PDH activity

A

Acetyl-CoA; acetyl-CoA is an end product of PDH

24
Q

Isocitrate dehydrogenase is important to the production of isocitrate from citrate. Why is this important in the TCA cycle? What enzyme is used?

A

Citrate is NOT able to undergo the decarboxylation to alpha-KG. Isocitrate, however, is.

Aconitase is the enzyme

25
(-) regulation of IDH
ATP; NADH (end products of TCA)
26
(+) regulation of IDH
ADP (indicates low E*, and requires "jump-starting" TCA cycle)
27
What steps produces NADH/CO2?
Isocitrate->alpha-ketogluterate; | alpha-ketogluterate-> succinyl-CoA
28
What steps produce NADH only?
Malate to oxaloacetate
29
What steps produce GTP?
Succinyl-CoA ---> Succinate
30
What step produces FADH2?
Succinate ---> Fumarate
31
Like PDH, alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase joins the product of the reaction to ____.
CoA
32
The final four steps of the TCA cycle are responsible for ___.
Regeneration of oxaloacetate
33
Oxaloacetate regeneration converts a methylene in fumarate to ________ in oxaloacetate.
carbonyl
34
High energy electrons are released from enzymes in all steps of the TCA cycle except: A. Succinyl CoA to Succinate with ATP generation B. Succinate to Fumarate with FADH2 production C. Malate to Oxaloacetate with NADH production D. Isocitrate to alpha-ketoglutarate with NADH production
A.
35
Malate oxidation to oxaloacetate has a + deltaG. How is this overcome?
- By the movement of NADH into the ETC | - By the use of oxaloacetate to form citrate (by citrate synthase)
