4. What is the thermodynamic driving force for formation of citrate?A) High levels of oxaloacetateB) C-C bond formation through condensationC) Loss of carbon dioxideD) Hydrolysis of a high energy bond
5. True or false? Both glycolysis and the citric acid cycle produce a high energy bond starting from inorganic phosphate through a process called substrate level phosphorylation.

Overview
![Page 5: Citric Acid Cycle 2](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681660d550346895dd94b72/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Carbon Flow
• Each cycle is net oxidation of acetyl CoA
• C-13 incorporation experiments
• 4-carbon compounds act “catalytically” in oxygen consumption– Cyclic pathway!

Anaplerotic Reactions
• “Filling up” reactions
• Formation of oxaloacetate by pyruvate carboxylase
• No net carbohydrates from Acetyl CoA in mammals

1. Citrate Synthase
• Highly exothermic—lysis of high energy bond
• Used to drive reaction in presence of small [oxaloacetate]
![Page 8: Citric Acid Cycle 2](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681660d550346895dd94b72/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
2. Aconitase
• Citrate is achiral and prochiral• Green represents carbon from acetyl CoA– How can enzyme distinguish prochirality?

Prochirality
• Only one compound produced
X

3. Isocitrate Dehydrogenase
• Oxidative decarboxylation
• Spontaneous in b-ketoacids
• NADH
![Page 11: Citric Acid Cycle 2](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681660d550346895dd94b72/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
4. a-Ketogluterate Dehydrogenase Complex
• Analogous to pyruvate dehydrogenase complex
• Second decarboxylation, but this is a-decarboxylation
• High energy bond retained

5. Succinyl CoA Synthetase
• Synthetase means ATP (GTP) involved• High energy bond used to do substrate-
level phosphorylation– Good leaving group to activate Pi– Covalent catalysis– GDP GTP

Notice: symmetricalProduct! We lose track of which carbons are from acetyl CoA!

6. Succinate Dehydrogenase
• Oxidation to form C=C releases less energy
• FAD is bound redox reagent
• In turn, Q is reduced
• Membrane enzyme—revisit in chapter 14!

7. Fumarase
• Another prochiral molecule• Hydration reaction sets up another oxidation

8. Malate Dehydrogenase
• Large standard free energy• Driven by low [oxaloacetate]

Carbon Flow
• Practice C-14 labeling problems given basic chart
