    Study Notes

    Coenzymes and Pyruvate Conversion

    • Conversion of pyruvate to oxaloacetate requires biotin as a coenzyme, which serves as a carrier of activated carbon dioxide.

    Substrate Level Phosphorylation in Glycolysis

    • Substrate-level phosphorylation occurs during glycolysis primarily during the conversion of 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate to 3-phosphoglycerate and the conversion of phosphoenolpyruvate to pyruvate, generating ATP directly.

    Location of ATP Synthase

    • ATP synthase is located in the inner mitochondrial membrane, where it facilitates ATP production through oxidative phosphorylation.

    Driving Force for ATP Synthesis

    • ATP synthesis by ATP synthase is driven by a proton gradient established across the inner mitochondrial membrane, promoting the flow of protons back into the mitochondrial matrix.

    Coenzyme NOT Involved in Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Reaction

    • Coenzyme A is actively involved in the reaction catalyzed by pyruvate dehydrogenase, while NAD+ and FAD are also involved; however, coenzyme B is not involved in this specific reaction.
