25
Pyruvate kinase deficiency leads to
Hereditary hemolytic anemia, increased serum 2,3-BPG levels
26
In what ways besides glycolysis is dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) involved

27
What activates pyruvate carboxylase and what does PC do
Acetyl Coenzyme A Catalyzes irreversible carboxylation of pyruvate to form oxaloacetate. Involved in gluconeogenesis and synthesis of neurotransmitters such as glutamate.
28
Deficiency of pyruvate carboxylase leads to
an inherited disease that causes lactic acid and other toxic compounds to accumulate in the blood. The deficiency of this enzyme also causes a decrease in citrate, aspartate, and phosphoenolpyruvate levels as these compounds are formed from oxaloacetate.
29
What enzyme and coenzyme are associated with E1
Pyruvate dehydrogenase (coenzyme: Thiamine pyrophosphate/B1)
30
What enzyme and coenzyme are associated with E2
Dihydrolipoyl transacetylase (coenzymes: Lipoamide, Coenzyme A) (B5)
31
What enzyme and coenzyme are associated with E3

32
Symptoms of and prognosis of pyruvate dehydrogenase reduced activity
Arsenic poisoning Lactic acidosis, headaches, confusion, convulsions and heart diseases. Arsenic poising can also lead to squamous cell carcinoma
33
PDH reduced activity can be due to
Wernicke-Korsakoff (encephalopathy-psychosis syndrome due to thiamine deficiency seen with alcohol abuse)
34
Symptoms of Wernicke-Korsakoff
Lactic acidosis, neurological disturbances, paralysis, atrophy of limbs and cardiac failure
35
What is succinate dehydrogenase gene deficiency
Homozygous and heterozygous mutations in the subunits of SD
36
Types of succinate dehydrogenase gene deficiency
SDHA: Leigh syndrome (it could also be due to PDH deficiency) SDHB and SDHD: Paraganglioma and pheochromocytoma SDHC: Paraganglioma
37
Most common features of succinate dehydrogenase gene deficiency
Leigh syndrome, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, muscle weakness, cerebral ataxia, optic atrophy
38
What is fumarase gene deficiency
Inherited autosomal recessive disease
39
Symptoms of fumarase gene deficiency
Affects nervous system Infants may have an abnormally small head size, abnormal brain structure, developmental delay, and weak muscle tone, face frontal bossing, depressed nasal bridge, and widely spaced eyes
40
What is succinyl-CoA synthetase gene deficiency
Homozygous and heterozygous mutations in the subunits of SUCLA1 and 2
41
What is the importance of succinyl-CoA synthetase
Succinyl-coenzyme A is an intermediate in the TCA cycle and is also a substrate of heme synthesis. Succinyl-coenzyme A and glycine are combined in the first step of heme synthesis to form aminolevulinic acid. In the Krebs cycle, succinyl-coenzyme A is an intermediate generated by α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase.
42
Most common symptoms of succinyl-CoA synthetase gene deficiency
Ecephalomyopathy, developmental delay, dystonia, and lactic acidosis

Transfers electrons from FADH2 to ubiquinone (CoQ), does not pump protons (Part of TCA cycle also)
45
Main function of complex III (Ubiquinone-Cytochrome c Oxidoreductase)
