2
New cards

Enoyl COA hydratase. which step, what does it do, product

Step 2 of b ox. Hydration step, adds water to molecule across double bond to b carbon. Generates hydroxyacylcoa.

what is this formula used for:n/2-1

#of FADH2 and NADH made, number of rounds of b ox.

7
New cards

to find total atp, what numbers do you use from TCA cycle?

3 NADH

1FADH

8
New cards

Where do you get most of your metabmoic water from?

enoyl-COA isomerase. when is it used and what does it do?

will move a double bond to 2 & 3. you dont make a new double bond. NO FADH2 made

10
New cards

2,4 dienoyl-COA reductase. when is it used and what does it do?

multiple CIS or conjugated double bonds. You reduce two double bonds and make a new one right in the middle. Uses a NADPH from PPP (NADH equiv.)

11
New cards

delta 3 delta 2 enoyl-COA isomerase. when is it used and what does it do?

used after 2,4 dienoyl coa reductase. moves the double bond formed in the middle to correct position.

12
New cards

After B-ox of odd number fatty acids, what is left?

Propionyl-COA molecule (3C)

13
New cards

Propionyl-COA carboxylase. where is it used, what is it used for? what cofactor does it use. What is its product

Used as 1st step to oxidize propionyl-coa (result from odd number FA). Uses biotin and a ATP. Product is D Methylmalonyl-COA

14
New cards

Methylmalonyl-CoA epimerase. where is it used, what is it used for? what cofactor does it use. What is its product

Second step to oxidze propionyl-COA. no cofactor it moved it around. product is L methylmalonyl coa

15
New cards

Methyl-melonyl-COA mutase. where is it used, what is it used for? what cofactor does it use. What is its product

In third step to oxidze propionyl-COA. coenzyme b12 cofactor. Produces SUCCINYL-COA

16

18
New cards

How many steps to oxidize propionyl-COA? what are the enzymes and end goal

  1. propionyl-COA carboxylase

  2. Methylmalonyl-CoA epirimase

  3. Methylmalonyl-COA mutase

SUCCINYL-COA

19
New cards

Succinyl-COA has three fates, what are they?

  1. generate heme

  2. supplement TCA cycle metabolite

  3. Generate cytosolic NADPH

20
New cards

Can B ox electrons go into complex II?

No. complex ii is directly connected to TCA reaction

21
New cards

Which FA get oxidized in peroxisomes? whats different in step one compared to mitochondria. does this occur in plants or animals

VLCFA. step 1. acyl coA OXIDASE. fadh2 gets reduced to H2o2 (peroxide). rest of steps are the same. 1.5 less ATP. PLANTS all FA. Animals only VLCFA

22
New cards

what enzyme is present in the peroxisome to process H2o2?

catalase

23
New cards

What happens in the peroxisome when it reaches the end of the thiolase step?

tholase can only recongnize molcules w/ more than 8 carbons. Sends rest of FA to mitochondria for more oxidation (diffuse).

24
New cards

Where does ketone body synthesis occur? what does it start with

Liver. acetyl coa is converted.

25
New cards

What three major areas do ketone bodies get shipped? In what conditions are they shipped

heart, skeletal muscles, brain. They are shipped to be stored for energy. Ketone bodies are the only source of energy when glucose isnt available.

26
New cards

What are the three ketone bodies?

Acetoacetate, acetone, hydroxybutyrate

27
New cards

Thiolase in ketogenisis. What step, what does it do, reactant and product?

step one in ketogenesis. Thiolase catalyzes the reverse reaction and joins 2 acetylCOA together. makes acetoacetyl-COA

28
New cards

HMG-COA synthase. What step, where, what does it do, reactant and product?

2nd step of ketogenesis.takes 3rd acetyl coa, adds it to make HMG COA. acetoacetyl-coa → HMG coa

29
New cards

HMG-COA lyase. What step, where, what does it do, reactant and product?

3rd step of ketogenesis. HMG lyase will cleave off one acetyl coa. HMG COA→ acetoacetate (Ketone body)

30
New cards

Which step of ketogenesis is the commited step?

HMG LYASE. commits HMG to make ketone bodies.

31
New cards

What other mechanisms are Ketone bodies linked to?

Cholesterol synthesis. have similar steps and enzymes.

32
New cards

FATE of acetoacete. What is the reaction if there is a NADH/NAD+ ratio? what enzyme drives reaction?

acetoacetate→ hydroxybutryate. Hydroxybutrate dehydrogenase.

33
New cards

FATE of acetoacete. What is the reaction if there is a NAD+/NADH ratio? what enzyme drives reaction?

hydroxybutryate→ acetoacetate. Hydroxybutrate dehydrognase.

34
New cards

what enzyme is used to make acetoacetate→ acetone?

Acetoacetate decarboxylase. very spontaneous.

35
New cards

Under what hormone conditions does ketone body synthesis occur?

glucagon conditions. Low glucose levels, want to make ketone bodies to supply energy to brain. Liver takes up a lot of the oxaloacetate to do GND under low glucose levels, acetyl coa wont be transported in TCA, causes buildup. Acetyl coa is converted to ketone bodies Liver can make both ketone bodies and glucose.

36
New cards

What happens once acetyle coa is made into ketone bodies? how does ketone bodies get to target areas? what happens once it gets there?

ketone bodies are shipped out of liver into the bloodstream to supplement energy production in brain. ONce its in target cells, it needs to breakdown back into acetyl coa for energy.

37
New cards

What is ketoacidosis?

Long term starvation. Blood ph goes down because ketone bodies are very acididc.

38
New cards

hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase. What step, where, what does it do, reactant and product?

1st step of ketolysis. hydroxybutryate → acetoacetate. Uses NAD+ . oxidation step.

39
New cards

Ketoacyl-COA transferase. What step, where, what does it do, reactant and product?

2nd step of ketolysis. acetoacetate0> acetoacetyl-coa. USES succinyl-COA and converts to succinate (reverse reaction of TCA). Only present in the target cells and not liver because you dont want to reverse TCA.

40
New cards

Thiolase (ketolysis). What step, what does it do, reactant and product

3rd step in ketolysis. acetoacetyl-coa → 2 acetyl-coa.

41
New cards

Seperate these into where the occur (mitochondria or cytosol): cholesterol, ketone synthesis, b ox, FA synthesis, Fatty acid elongation

mitch:b ox, ketone synthesis, fatty acid elongation

cytosol: fa syn. cholesterol
