Question
Chapter 9, Problem 51TQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason behind the increased energy production from fatty acids during the activation of pyruvate carboxylase.
Introduction:
The citric acid cycle is used to release the chemical energy stored in acetyl-CoA (coenzyme A), which is formed from pyruvate by the action of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. The citric acid cycle is regulated by controlling citrate synthase, isocitrate dehydrogenas, end alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase.

Pyruvate is accepted into the TCA cycle by a “feeder” reaction using the pyruvatedehydrogenase complex, resulting in acetyl-CoA and CO2. Provide a full mechanismfor this reaction utilizing the TPP cofactor. Include the roles of all cofactors.
B- Vitamins are converted readily into important metabolic cofactors. Deficiency inany one of them has serious side effects.
a. The disease beriberi results from a vitamin B 1 (Thiamine) deficiency and ischaracterized by cardiac and neurological symptoms. One key diagnostic forthis disease is an increased level of pyruvate and α-ketoglutarate in thebloodstream. How does this vitamin deficiency lead to increased serumlevels of these factors?
b. What would you expect the effect on the TCA intermediates for a patientsuffering from vitamin B 5 deficiency?
c. What would you expect the effect on the TCA intermediates for a patientsuffering from vitamin B 2 /B 3 deficiency?
