- TCA gives -2H2O +GTP +FADH2 +2CO2 +3NADH + 3H+

第0步 +CO2 +NADH +H+
- Combining glycolysis and the TCA cycle gives

注意一个glycose进行一次glycolysis和两次TCA
- 理论上 1 * glycose → 38 * ATP
- All six carbons of glucose are released as CO2
- 4 molecules of ATP are formed in substrate-level phosphorylation
- glycolysis + TCA 产生了 10 * NADH 与 2 * FADH2
- in electron transport and oxidative phosphorylation
- NADH → 3 ATP
- FADH2 → 2 ATP
- 但是细胞质基质产生的NADH不一定进入电子传递链

- steps
- step0 - Oxidative Decarboxylation of Pyruvate → Acetyl-CoA (+CO2 +NADH +H+)
- pyruvate + CoASH + NAD+ → Acetyl-CoA + NADH + CO2 + H+
- CoA 是 Coenzyme A 辅酶A
- pyruvate must first enter the mitochondria to enter the TCA cycle
- 酶 - pyruvate dehydrogenase
- a multienzyme complex
- The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) is a noncovalent assembly of three different enzymes
- 由三种不同酶构成的非共价组装体
- operating to catalyze successive steps in the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA
- 它们协同作用,催化丙酮酸转化为乙酰辅酶 A 过程中的连续反应步骤
- The active sites of all three enzymes are not far removed from one another
- 这三种酶的活性中心彼此相距不远
- the product of the first enzyme is passed directly to the second enzyme and so on, without diffusion of substrates and products through the solution
- 第一种酶的产物会直接传递给第二种酶,依此类推,无需底物和产物在溶液中扩散
- pyruvate + CoASH + NAD+ → Acetyl-CoA + NADH + CO2 + H+
- step1 - oxaloacetate + Acetyl-CoA → citrate (-H2O) 调控步骤
- oxaloacetate + Acetyl-CoA ⇄ Citryl-CoA + H2O ⇄ citrate + CoA
- The overall ∆G°is -31.4 kJ/mol, and the reaction is irreversible
- Although the mitochondrial concentration of oxaloacetate is very low (much less than 1 µM), the strong negative ∆ G°drives the reaction forward.
- 酶 - Citrate Synthase
- a dimer of 49-kD subunits
- On each subunit, oxaloacetate and acetyl-CoA bind to the active site
- Binding of oxaloacetate induces a conformational change that facilitates the binding of acetyl-CoA and closes the active site
- In the monomer of citrate synthase, citrate is shown in green, and CoA is red
- regulation
- a highly regulated enzyme
- allosteric inhibitor
- NADH , a product of the TCA cycle
- succinyl-CoA, the product of the following step in the cycle
- oxaloacetate + Acetyl-CoA ⇄ Citryl-CoA + H2O ⇄ citrate + CoA
- step2 - Citrate ⇄ Isocitrate
- The Isomerization of Citrate
- 柠檬酸的OH在中间,进一步氧化比较困难, 所以把OH变到旁边
- 酶 - Aconitase 顺乌头酸酶
- The Isomerization of Citrate
- step3 - isocitrate → α-ketoglutarate (+CO2 +NADH +H+) 调控步骤
The First Oxidation in the Cycle- isocitrate + NAD+ → NADH + H+ +oxalosuccinate → CO2 + α-Ketoglutarate
- decarboxylate 脱羧
- The reaction has a net ∆G° of -8.4 kJ/mol, and it is sufficiently exergonic to pull the aconitase reaction forward
- 酶 - Isocitrate Dehydrogenase

- ATP
- allosteric activator
- ADP
- lowering the Km for isocitrate by a factor of 10
- The enzyme is virtually inactive in the absence of ADP
- ADP
- allosteric inhibitors
- isocitrate + NAD+ → NADH + H+ +oxalosuccinate → CO2 + α-Ketoglutarate
- step4 - α-ketoglutarate → succinyl-CoA (+CO2 +NADH +H+) 调控步骤
A Second Decarboxylation- α-Ketoglutarate + NAD+ +CoA → NADH + H+ +CO2 + succinyl-CoA
- free energy changes for these reactions are-29 to-33.5 kJ/mol
- 酶 - α-Ketoglutarate Dehydrogenase
- a multienzyme complex
- a multienzyme complex
- α-Ketoglutarate + NAD+ +CoA → NADH + H+ +CO2 + succinyl-CoA
- step5 - succinyl-CoA → succinate (+GTP)
- Succinyl-CoA + GDP + P → succinate + GTP +CoA
- 酶 - Succinyl-CoA Synthetase 琥珀酰辅酶A合成酶
- drive the phosphorylation of GDP to GTP (in mammals) or ADP to ATP (in plants and bacteria)
- 是TCA中唯一一个用底物水解的能量磷酸化的反应 substrate-level phosphorylation
不依赖电子传递链, 不利用质子梯度 - nucleoside diphosphate kinase reaction
- The GTP produced by mammals in this reaction can exchange its terminal phosphoryl group with ADP
- The GTP produced by mammals in this reaction can exchange its terminal phosphoryl group with ADP
- Succinyl-CoA + GDP + P → succinate + GTP +CoA
- step6 - succinate ⇄ fumarate (+FADH2)
- succinate +FAD ⇄ fumarate + FADH2
- 酶 - succinate dehydrogenase
- succinate dehydrogenase is an integral membrane protein
其他都是soluble proteins found in the mitochondrial matrix - tightly associated with the inner mitochondrial membrane
- actually part of the electron transport chain
- FAD-Dependent
- succinate dehydrogenase is an integral membrane protein
- succinate +FAD ⇄ fumarate + FADH2
- step7 - fumarate → malate (-H2O)
- fumarate + H2O → L-malate
- Trans-Hydration of fumarate
- 酶 - Fumarase 延胡索酸酶
- fumarate + H2O → L-malate
- step8 - malate ⇄ oxaloacetate (+NADH +H+)
- malate + NAD+ ⇄ oxaloacetate + NADH + H+
- very endergonic, with a △G°of +30 kJ/mol
- the concentration of oxaloacetate in the mitochondrial matrix is usually quite low
- pulled forward by the favorable citrate synthase reaction

- The TCA Cycle Provides Intermediates for Biosynthetic Pathways
- 图
- four-, five-, and six-carbon species produced in the TCA cycle also fuel a variety of biosynthetic processes
- α-Ketoglutarate, succinyl-CoA, fumarate, and oxaloacetate are all precursors of important cellular species
- In order to participate in eukaryotic biosynthetic processes, they must first be transported out of the mitochondria
- ATP–citrate lyase
- Citrate broken down to generate oxaloacetate and acetyl-CoA, a precursor of fatty acids
- Oxaloacetate is recycled to malate or pyruvate, which re-enters the mitochondria
- This cycle permits citrate to provide acetyl-CoA for biosynthetic processes
- 图
- ATP–citrate lyase
- 图
- The Anaplerotic补给
- cell also feeds many intermediates back into the TCA cycle from other reactions
- The catabolism of amino acids provides pyruvate, acetyl-CoA, oxaloacetate, Fumarate, α-ketoglutarate, and succinate
- Pyruvate carboxylase, phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) carboxylase, and malic enzyme catalyze anaplerotic reactions
- Pyruvate carboxylase
- catalyze the most important anaplerotic reactions
- pyruvate 变成 acetyl-CoA进TCA跑一圈就没了, 通过这个反应可以补充中间的酸
- exists in the mitochondria of animal cells but not in plants
- has an absolute allosteric requirement for acetyl-CoA
- Thus, when acetyl-CoA levels exceed the oxaloacetate supply, allosteric activation of pyruvate carboxylase by acetyl-CoA raises oxaloacetate levels, so that the excess acetyl-CoA can enter the TCA cycle
- 这个酶需要acetyl-CoA的别构激活, 所以acetyl-CoA超量供应时候就会激活这个酶, 把 pyruvate 变成 oxaloacetate 平衡TCA第一步两个反应物的量
