The mechanism for the conversion from alpha kytoglutarate into succinyl CoA by alpha-ketoglutare dehydrogenase is analogous to the pyruvate dehydrogenase mechanism. Draw and show the major intermediates and arrow pushing for the enzyme-catalyze process for the conversion of alpha-ketoglutarate to succinyl CoA. Note: the carbanion of thiamine pyrophosphate nucleophillically attacks C-2 of the alpha-ketoglutarate, i.e., the carbonyl carbon of that substrate.

One of the regulators of the TCA cycle is succinyl CoA. Discuss the rationale for this molecule to be used to regulate the TCA cycle [include chemical structures and chemical equations where appropriate]. What is an allosteric inhibitor? How does it operate? For what TCA enzymes does succinyl CoA act as an inhibitor? What is the metabolic role of succinyl CoA? So then why is this molecule a reasonable choice as an inhibitor of the TCA?
Some bacteria use the citric acid cycle intermediate, a-ketoglutarate, plus acetyl-CoA, as the starting point for lysine biosynthesis. The first part of this biosynthetic pathway uses the same chemical strategy found in the citric acid cycle. Propose a four-step pathway for the conversion of a-ketoglutarate to 2-oxoadipate. Draw the three missing intermediates, and indicate the chemistry involved in each reaction. Include any cofactors that you think might be required for specific steps.
(a) The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex and the a-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex have common reaction mechanisms and catalyze chemically similar reactions. However, there are two enzymes that are critical for regulating the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex that are not found in the a-ketoglutarate complex dehydrogenase. What are these regulatory proteins and what is the re-sult of their catalytic action? (b) Through the metabolism of pyruvate and of isocitrate, CO2 is released with production of NADH. One of these metabolites undergoes oxidative decarboxylation while the other undergoes non- oxidative decarboxylation. On the basis of the structures of the reactant and product for both metabolites show why one reaction is oxidative while the other is non-oxidative even though NAD+ is reduced in both cases. (c) Using structural formulas for the reactions catalyzed by the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, draw the structures of the corresponding intermediates of the reaction cata-lyzed by…
Synthesis of the activated form of acetate (acetyl-CoA) is carried out in an ATP-dependent process:(a) The ΔG′° for hydrolysis of acetyl-CoA to acetate and CoA is −32.2 kJ/mol and that for hydrolysis of ATP to AMP and PPi is −30.5 kJ/mol. Calculate ΔG′° for the ATPdependent synthesis of acetyl-CoA.(b) Almost all cells contain the enzyme inorganic pyrophosphatase, which catalyzes the hydrolysis of PPi to Pi. What effect does the presence of this enzyme have on the synthesis of acetyl-CoA? Explain.
The same E1-Ez-E3 multienzyme structure found in the pyruvate dehydro- genase and the a-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complexes is also used in the branched-chain a-ketoacid dehydrogenase complex, which participates in the catabolism of branched chain amino acids.

Several pathways exist in different organisms for the metabolism of propionyl-CoA. Most organisms utilizethe pathway that feeds into the citric acid cycle via succinyl-CoA. Another metabolic route used by Clostridium kluyveriis a "continuation of -oxidation" and consists of the following enzymatic reactions: (a) propionyl-CoA is converted toacryloyl-CoA; (b) formation of 3-hydroxypropionyl-CoA; (c) conversion to malonyl semialdehyde CoA; (d) productionof malonyl-CoA, which is then (e) decarboxylated to produce acetyl-CoA. Outline the above steps between propionylCoA and acetyl-CoA. Show structures for the metabolites and indicate appropriate cofactors (free or bound) that may beinvolved.

The reaction catalyzed by malate dehydrogenase has a ΔG°′ value of +29.7 kJ⋅mol−1. Given what this says about the occurrence of the reaction catalyzed by malate dehydrogenase in cells explain how the reaction catalyzed by citrate synthase (−31.5 kJ⋅mol−1) influences that activity of malate dehydrogenase. In addition, explain how the activity of citrate synthase functions as a regulatory point for the citric acid cycle
