Tca Cyle

Front 1

first step of TCA

Back 1

pyruvate gets converted into acetyl coA by 3 enzymes pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (group of enzymes that have the same function) and produce NADH

Front 2

2nd step

Back 2

oxaloacetate (4 C molecule) combines acetyl coA (2 carbon molecule) to make citrate (6 C) by the enzyme citrate synthase

Front 3

3 step

Back 3

citrate is converted into by the enzyme aconotase cis-aconitate

Front 4

4 step

Back 4

cis-aconitate (6c) is converted into Isocitrate (6C) by the enzyme aconitase

Front 5

5 step

Back 5

One Carbon is lost as CO2 and NADH is made and a-ketogliterate
the enzymes involves are isocitrade dehydrogenase

Front 6

6 step

Back 6

a-ketoglucorate dehydrogenase breaks down a-ketoglutarate into succinal coA (4C)
carbon is lost Again as CO2 and an NADH is made

Front 7

7th step

Back 7

succinal coA is converted to succinate by the enzyme succinyl coa synthase and gtp created in process

Front 8

8th step

Back 8

succinate is converted to fumerate by reaction catalysed by enzyme succinate dehydrogenase and FADH 2 created in the process

Front 9

9th step

Back 9

fumerate is converted into Malase by fumerase which is then converted into oxaloacetate by malate dehydrogenase
