    Deficiency of skeletal muscle succinate dehydrogenase and aconitase. Pathophysiology of exercise in a novel human muscle oxidative defect. R G Haller, … , K Ayyad, C G Blomqvist J Clin Invest. 1991;88(4):1197-1206. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI115422. Research Article We evaluated a 22-yr-old Swedish man with lifelong exercise intolerance marked by premature exertional muscle fatigue, dyspnea, and cardiac palpitations with superimposed episodes lasting days to weeks of increased muscle fatigability and weakness associated with painful muscle swelling and pigmenturia. Cycle exercise testing revealed low maximal oxygen uptake (12 ml/min per kg; healthy sedentary men = 39 +/- 5) with exaggerated increases in venous lactate and pyruvate in relation to oxygen uptake (VO2) but low lactate/pyruvate ratios in maximal exercise. The severe oxidative limitation was characterized by impaired muscle oxygen extraction indicated by subnormal systemic arteriovenous oxygen difference (a- v O2 diff) in maximal exercise (patient = 4.0 ml/dl, normal men = 16.7 +/- 2.1) despite normal oxygen carrying capacity and Hgb-O2 P50. In contrast maximal oxygen delivery (cardiac output, Q) was high compared to sedentary healthy men (Qmax, patient = 303 ml/min per kg, normal men 238 +/- 36) and the slope of increase in Q relative to VO2 (i.e., delta Q/delta VO2) from rest to exercise was exaggerated (delta Q/delta VO2, patient = 29, normal men = 4.7 +/- 0.6) indicating uncoupling of the normal approximately 1:1 relationship between oxygen delivery and utilization in dynamic exercise.

A recent X-ray structural solution of members of the complex II family of proteins has provided important insights into their function. One feature of the complex II structures is a linear electron transport chain that extends from the flavin and iron-sulfur redox cofactors in the membrane extrinsic domain to the quinone and b heme cofactors in the membrane domain. Exciting recent developments in relation to disease in humans and the formation of reactive oxygen species by complex II point to its overall importance in cellular physiology.

  • Biological Application and Disease of Oxidoreductase Enzymes Mezgebu Legesse Habte and Etsegenet Assefa Beyene
    Chapter Biological Application and Disease of Oxidoreductase Enzymes Mezgebu Legesse Habte and Etsegenet Assefa Beyene Abstract In biochemistry, oxidoreductase is a large group of enzymes that are involved in redox reaction in living organisms and in the laboratory. Oxidoreductase enzymes catalyze reaction involving oxygen insertion, hydride transfer, proton extraction, and other essential steps. There are a number of metabolic pathways like glycolysis, Krebs cycle, electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation, drug transfor- mation and detoxification in liver, photosynthesis in chloroplast of plants, etc. that require the direct involvements of oxidoreductase enzymes. In addition, degrada- tion of old and unnecessary endogenous biomolecules is catalyzed by a family of oxidoreductase enzymes, e.g., xanthine oxidoreductase. Oxidoreductase enzymes use NAD, FAD, or NADP as a cofactor and their efficiency, specificity, good biode- gradability, and being studied well make it fit well for industrial applications. In the near future, oxidoreductase may be utilized as the best biocatalyst in pharmaceuti- cal, food processing, and other industries. Oxidoreductase play a significant role in the field of disease diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. By analyzing the activities of enzymes and changes of certain substances in the body fluids, the number of disease conditions can be diagnosed. Disorders resulting from deficiency (quantita- tive and qualitative) and excess of oxidoreductase, which may contribute to the metabolic abnormalities and decreased normal performance of life, are becoming common. Keywords: biocatalyst, biological application, disease, metabolism, mutation, oxidoreductase 1. Introduction Oxidoreductases, which includes oxidase, oxygenase, peroxidase, dehydroge- nase, and others, are enzymes that catalyze redox reaction in living organisms and in the laboratory [1].

The left and right half are the same, having mirror image acetyl groups (-CH2COOH). Radio-label Experiment. The Krebs Cycle was tested by 14C radio- labeling experiments. In 1941, 14C-Acetyl-CoA was used with normal oxaloacetate, labeling only the right side of drawing. But none of the label was released as CO2. Always the left carboxyl group is instead released as CO2, i.e., that from oxaloacetate. This was interpreted as proof that citrate is not in the 14 cycle at all the labels would have been scrambled, and half of the CO2 would have been C. Prochiral Citrate. In a two-minute thought experiment, Alexander Ogston in 1948 (Nature, 162: 963) argued that citrate has the potential to be treated as chiral. In chemistry, prochiral molecules can be converted from achiral to chiral in a single step. The trick is an asymmetric enzyme surface (i.e. aconitase) can act on citrate as through it were chiral. As a consequence the left and right acetyl groups are not treated equivalently. “On the contrary, it is possible that an asymmetric enzyme which attacks a symmetrical compound can distinguish between its identical groups.” Metabolism Lecture 9 — CITRIC ACID CYCLE/FATTY ACID CATABOLISM — Restricted for students enrolled in MCB102, UC Berkeley, Spring 2008 ONLY [STEP 4] α-Keto Glutarate Dehydrogenase.

  • 1,2,3,5,6,8,10,11,16,20,21 Citric Acid Cycle Reactions
    Overview of the citric acid cycle, AKA the krebs cycle AKA tricarboxylic acid AKA TCA cycle Suggested problems from the end of chapter 19: 1,2,3,5,6,8,10,11,16,20,21 Glycogen is broken down into glucose. The reactions of glycolysis result in pyruvate, which is then fed into the citric acid cycle in the form of acetyl CoA. The products of the citric acid cycles are 2 CO2, 3 NADH, 1 FADH2, and 1 ATP or GTP. After pyruvate is generated, it is transported into the mitochondrion, an organelle that contains the citric acid cycle enzymes and the oxidative phosphorylation enzymes. In E. coli, where there are neither mitochondria nor other organelles, these enzymes also seem to be concentrated in certain regions in the cell. Citric acid cycle reactions Overall, there are 8 reactions that result in oxidation of the metabolic fuel. This results in reduction of NAD+ and FAD. NADH and FADH2 will transfer their electrons to oxygen during oxidative phosphorylation. •In 1936 Carl Martius and Franz Knoop showed that citrate can be formed non-enzymaticly from Oxaloacetate and pyruvate. •In 1937 Hans Krebs used this information for biochemical experiments that resulted in his suggestion that citrate is processed in an ongoing circle, into which pyruvate is “fed.” •In 1951 it was shown that it was acetyl Coenzyme-A that condenses with oxaloacetate to form citrate. 1 The pre-citric acid reaction- pyruvate dehydrogenase Pyruvate dehydrogenase is a multi-subunit complex, containing three enzymes that associate non-covalently and catalyze 5 reaction. The enzymes are: (E1) pyruvate dehydrogenase (E2) dihydrolipoyl transacetylase (E3) dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase What are the advantages for arranging enzymes in complexes? E.

The molecular sites of mitochondrial ROS production are not well established but are generally thought to be located in complex I and complex III of the electron transport chain. We measured H2O2 production, respiration, and NADPH reduction level in rat brain mitochondria oxidizing a variety of respiratory substrates. Under conditions of maximum respiration induced with either ADP or ␣ carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone, -ketoglutarate supported the highest rate of H2O2 production. In the absence of ADP or in the presence of rotenone, H2O2 production rates correlated with the reduction level of mitochondrial NADPH with various substrates, with the exception of ␣-ketoglutarate. Isolated mitochondrial ␣-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase (KGDHC) and pyruvate dehy- ϩ drogenase (PDHC) complexes produced superoxide and H2O2. NAD inhibited ROS production by the isolated enzymes and by perme- abilized mitochondria. We also measured H2O2 production by brain mitochondria isolated from heterozygous knock-out mice deficient in dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase (Dld).
