Krebs Cycle
2 Pyruvate molecules formed in glycolysis enter mitochondrial matrix
For every ONE pyruvate molecule produced by glycolysis:
o 2 molecules of CO2
o 3 NADH molecules
o 1 FADH2 molecule
o 1 ATP produced
GTP + ADP ATP + GDP
GDP + Pi GTP
o 2H+
In total, there are 6 CO2 molecules, 10 acceptor molecules and 2 ATP
molecules produced because there are 2 pyruvates produced in glycolysis
Removes electrons from acetyl Co-A and uses it to form NADH and FADH2
Function of cycle:
Significant role in both the process of energy production and biosynthesis
Finishes the sugar-breaking job started in glycolysis and fuels the production
of ATP in the process
Provision of intermediates for biosynthetic purposes
NADH generated is fed into oxidative phosphorylation (electron transport)
pathway
Energy release from oxidation of acetyl CoA
Different Enzymatic Reactions of Cycle
Pyruvate Acetyl-CoA
-ve ∆G (favourable reaction)
Enzyme: pyruvate dehydrogenase
Cofactors: CoA-SH, NAD+, TPP, lipoate, FAD
Produce: NADH
1 glucose molecule produces 2 pyruvate
Steps
1. Claisen condensation
methyl group of acetyl-CoA converted to methylene in citrate
Condensation reaction: acetyl-S-CoA (2C) + oxaloacetate (4C) citrate
(6-carbon)

Document Summary

In total, there are 6 co2 molecules, 10 acceptor molecules and 2 atp molecules produced because there are 2 pyruvates produced in glycolysis: removes electrons from acetyl co-a and uses it to form nadh and fadh2. Ve g (favourable reaction: enzyme: pyruvate dehydrogenase, cofactors: coa-sh, nad+, tpp, lipoate, fad, produce: nadh, 1 glucose molecule produces 2 pyruvate. Steps: claisen condensation, methyl group of acetyl-coa converted to methylene in citrate, condensation reaction: acetyl-s-coa (2c) + oxaloacetate (4c) citrate (6-carbon, enzyme: citrate synthase, hydrolysis of thioester makes forward reaction highly exergonic: large ve. Oh group oxidized to carbonyl, which in turn facilitates decarboxylation by stabilizing carbon ion formed on adjacent carbon: cofactor: nad+ (electron acceptor) nadh. Ve g" (favourable: oxidative decarboxylation, pyruvate-dehydrogenase like mechanism dependent on carbonyl on adjacent carbon, cofactor: nad+ (electron acceptor) nadh, coa-sh. Energy yield per cycle: direct phosphorylation, gdp + pi gtp (1)
