- 2. Citric Acid Cycle – Also known as: • Tricarboxylic acid (TCA ) cycle –After its substrates, Citrate & Iso-citrate • Krebs cycle –(After its discoverer, Hans Krebs) – Special metabolic pathway which runs in mitochondria • Most of our cells contain mitochondria which act as “mobile power plant” • Few cells however, don’t have mitochondria –E.g., Red Blood cells (do not run Krebs’ cycle ) • All the enzymes which mediate the cycle present within mitochondria 2
- 3. Cont… Mitochondria: – Intracellular organelles which are bounded by double membranes • Outer membrane • Inner membrane – What was origin of mitochondria? • Originally, mitochondria were energy producing bacteria • Millions’ of years back, visited eukaryotic cell – Eukaryotic cell provided protection & nutrition to mitochondria – Bacteria were very happy & provided energy – What is proof that mitochondria were bacteria? • Like bacterial DNA, mitochondrial DNA is circular 3
- 4. Cont… – Inter-membraneous space – Matrix • All the substances in the inner side of inner membrane – What are substances present in the mitochondrial matrix? » Mitochondrial DNA » Mitochondrial RNA » Mitochondrial Ribosomes » Krebs cycle enzyme » Pyruvate dehaydrogenase complex » FA beta oxidation enzymes 4

- 6. Cont… – Cyclic process • Final product of pathway is exactly same to initial substrate What is the purpose of Krebs Cycle? – Concerned with: • Breakdown of acetyl moiety of Acetyl-CoA • Provision of intermediates to biosynthetic pathways • Catabolism of acetyl-CoA: – Acetyl-CoA is a major fuel for energy producing cycle (Krebs cycle) – Passes through cycle & catabolized, while releasing energy – From where Acetyl-CoA comes? – Breakdown product of carbon skeletons of major fuels in our body (Carbohydrates, Lipids & Proteins) 6
- 7. Sources of Acetyl-CoA in TCA cycle 7
- 8. Cont… • What happens when acetyl-CoA moves through the cycle? – Two carbon-units (acetyl moieties) of acetyl-CoA are lost as 2 molecules CO2 – Energy released is captured in the form of 3 molecules of NADH + H+ & one molecule of FADH2 – NADH + H+ & FADH2 molecules enter into electron transport chain system (ETCS) to regenerate NAD+ & FAD • Purpose of NADH + H+ & FADH2 molecules is to take energy rich electrons and protons from Krebs cycle to ETCS 8
- 9. Cont… • What will happen when energy rich electrons & protons are passing through ETCS? – Oxygen will be added to pathway at end, meets proton & H2O is produced – Energy released will be utilized to convert ADP + Pi into ATP • In summary, Krebs cycle: – Final common pathway of catabolism of major body feuls – Involves a sequence of dehydrogenation & de- carboxylation reactions • De-carboxylation helps blow out CO2 • Dehydrogenation helps transfer protons & electrons to NAD+ & FAD – Responsible to produce H2O & to oxidative phosphorylation of ADP into ATP 9
