What enzymes are in the TCA cycle?
What enzymes are in the TCA cycle?
The citric acid cycle is regulated primarily by the concentration of ATP and NADH. The key control points are the enzymes isocitrate dehydrogenase and α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase. Isocitrate dehydrogenase is allosterically stimulated by ADP, which enhances the enzyme’s affinity for substrates.
How do you remember enzymes in the citric acid cycle?
Remember the enzymes of the cycle:
- 2 “substrate”-ase: ACONITASE and FUMARASE.
- 2 “sythase/synthetase”: CITRATE SYNTHASE and SUCCINYL-COA SYNTHETASE.
- Others “dehydrogenases”: ISOCITRATE DEHYDROGENASE, α-KETOGLUTARATE DEHYDROGENASE, SUCCINATE DEHYDROGENASE, MALATE DEHYDROGENASE.
Where are TCA cycle enzymes?
In the mitochondrial matrix, enzymes of the CAC (also known as Krebs cycle or tricarboxylic acid cycle -TCA) produce the reducing equivalents NADH and FADH2. They deliver electrons to complexes of mitochondrial electron-transport chain, which builds up a proton gradient that drives ATP production.
What are the 3 regulatory enzymes of the TCA cycle?
Recent evidence suggests that enzymes of the TCA cycle may be physically associated with each other to facilitate handing of substrates from one enzyme to the next. The TCA cycle is regulated allosterically at the 3 irreversible steps: citrate synthase, isocitrate dehydrogenase and α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase.

What are the mnemonics for the citric acid cycle?
Glycolysis and the citric acid cycle (known also as the Kreb’s cycle, the TCA cycle or the Szent-Györgyi-Krebs cycle) are of main concern at the moment. I thought I would publish the mnemonic devices I use to memorize these pathways and their associated enzymes here, both for my own future reference and the use of anyone who needs them:
Where is the substrate of the TCA cycle?
The primary location of the enzyme of the TCA cycle is in the mitochondria. Although, isozymes of some are also present in the cytosol. The substrate of the cycle is acetyl CoA.
Where are the enzymes in the Kreb cycle?
Kreb’s cycle (Citric Acid Cycle) : Mnemonic. All the enzymes are in the matrix of mitochondria except succinate dehydrogenase which is in inner mitochondrial membrane.
