Cellular Respiration Mitochondria : Outer membrane permeable to small molecules and ions Inner membrane highly impermeable; contains the respiratory chain for transfer of electrons to O2 and ATP synthase Matrix contains Krebs cycle enzymes, lipids and aminoacid oxidation enzymes Cellular Respiration Stage 1 oxidation of fuels to acetyl-CoA  Cellular Respiration Stage 2: acetyl groups oxidation in the citric acid cycle (tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, Krebs cycle) Generates: 2 CO2 3 NADH 1 FADH2, 1 GTP  1 ATP Cellular Respiration Stage 3: electron transfer chain and oxidative phosphorylation NADH 2.5 ATP FADH2 1.5 ATP  Descarboxilação oxidante do piruvato pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) complex: cluster of 3 enzymes and 5 cofactors mitochondrial matrix 5 reacções intermediates remain bound to the enzyme subunits Pyruvate + CoA-SH + NAD+ → acetyl-CoA + CO2 + NADH + H+ Catalytic cofactors (used by PDH and regenerated): TPP, lipoamida and FAD Stoichiometric cofactors (used by PDH but not regenerated): CoA and NAD+  CoA-SH 1ª reacção: descarboxilação do piruvato 2ª reacção: oxidação do hidroxietil-TPP  3ª reacção: transferência do acetil 4ª e 5ª reacções: oxidação da dihidrolipoamida e do FADH2 The conversion of pyruvate into acetyl CoA by pyruvate dehydrogenase complex is the link between glycolysis and cellular respiration. Citrate synthase (ΔGº’ = -7.5 kcal/mol) Acetyl CoA is the fuel for the citric acid cycle. → All fuel molecules are ultimately metabolized to acetyl CoA or components of the citric acid cycle. History of citric acid cycle discovery Albert von Szent-Györgyi (1893-1986) Hans Adolf Krebs Otto Heinrich Warburg (1900-1981) (1883-1970) 1947: emigra para EUA 1933: emigra para RU Szent-Györgyi Verificou que o fumarato era completamente oxidado em CO2 e H2O; 1 micromole de fumarato resulta no consumo de 3 micromoles de oxigénio Sugeriu que os ácidos dicarboxílicos seriam catalisadores da oxidação de outras moléculas Krebs intermediários do ciclo do ácido citrico eram verdadeiros intermediários Krebs Oxigénio consumido (mmol) 88 (Açúcar + citrato) OBTIDO 66 (Açúcar + citrato) previsto 44 Açúcar 22 Oxidação completa do citrato 0 0 30 60 90 120 150 Tempo (minutos) original citric acid cycle (Nature rejects Krebs's paper, 1937)  Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1953 Lipmann assumed that Acetyl-phosphate, instead of acetyl-CoA, is the two-carbon “active” compound condensing with oxaloacetate CoA: 1945 Acetil-CoA: 1951 Hans Adolf Krebs Fritz Albert Lipmann (1900-1981) (1899-1986) NADH FADH2 1951 1945 1937 Acetil-CoA Hidratos de Carbono 1921 Ácidos Gordos / Proteínas Principais acontecimentos Descoberta do a-cetoglutarato (Martius e Knoop) Apresentado o Apresentado o ciclo do Ciclo da Ureia Proposto o Glioxilato (Krebs e Ciclo do ác.

The word metabolon has been suggested as the name for such temporary multienzyme complexes. A metabolon is a temporary structural-functional complex formed between sequential enzymes of a metabolic pathway, held together by noncovalent interactions. Substrate channelling - The formation of metabolons allows passing the intermediary metabolic product from an enzyme directly as substrate into the active site of the consecutive enzyme of the metabolic pathway The Citric Acid Cycle Is Regulated at Three Exergonic Steps regulation occurs at strongly exergonic steps catalyzed by: – citrate synthase – isocitrate dehydrogenase complex – α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex fluxes are affected by the concentrations of substrates and products: – end products ATP and NADH are inhibitory – NAD+ and ADP are stimulatory – long-chain fatty acids are inhibitory Regulação do ciclo de Krebs  [oxaloacetato] determina a velocidade global do ciclo In general, energy charge is the key: AMP/NAD+ activate ATP/NADH inhibit Microorganisms & Plants Why can plants and some microrganisms exist with acetate as sole energy source but humans cannot? Glyoxylate cycle Note: - Bypass the 2 decarboxylation steps of the CAC - 2 molecules of acetyl CoA enter per turn. → glucose Glyoxylate cycle enables plants, bacteria, fungi and Triacylglycerols protists to grow on acetate Após duas voltas do Ciclo: 4 Acetatos 1 Hexose + 2 CO2 Conversion of fatty acids to glucose Glyoxylate cycle enables plants, bacteria, fungi and protists to grow on acetate
