Reaction forming 6C molecule Formation of Citrate from Oxaloacetate and Acetyl CoA 4C 2C intermediate 6C Condensation driven by CoA hydrolysis 6 3 9 15 Reaction 1 Enzyme Citrate Synthase Condensation Reaction forming 6C molecule Formation of Citrate from Oxaloacetate and Acetyl CoA 4C 2C intermediate 6C Regulation Negative ATP NADH Succinyl CoA Dimer Each monomer has a small and large domain Sequential ordered reaction OAA binds first and causes the small subunit of Citrate Synthase to rotate this forms the Acetyl CoA binding pocket This brings closer the residues that are necessary for the condensation reaction between OAA and Acetyl Example of induced fit CoA to occur High Citrate Levels Indicate a Well Fed State Mitochondria Cytoplasm 7 3 9 15 Reaction 2 Enzyme Aconitase

enzyme complex Ketoglutarate Dehydrogenase Complex Addition of CoA and release of CO2 The enzymes are similar to those in Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex E1 and E2 are homologous to those in PDH and E3 is identical to PDH E3 Together these enzymes make up the ketoglutarate Dehydrogenase complex The second NADH and CO2 are produced From now on 4C Ketoglutarate Dehydrogenase Complex This enzyme is a

phosphate to GDP GTP can be used for energy directly can be used to make ATP or can be used in signaling pathways Reactions 6 8 Regeneration of OAA 6 7 OX Oxidation Reduction Reaction FADH2 produced
