Vivo control of citric acid cycle | Crack PGIMER 22 MAY 2016

In vivo control of citric acid cycle is affected by: 


A. Acetyl CoA 
B. Coenzyme A 
C. ATP
D. Citrate
E. NADH


The Answer is. (C) ATP;(E) NADH        

• The citric acid cycle is controlled by regulation of selective enzymes activities — citrate synthase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, c-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex.
• Regulation is by availability of ADP
    ATP, NADH Inhibitthe cycle
    Acetyl CO-A formed from pyruvate and CO-A by pyruvatedehydrogenase complex is not a part of TCA cycle.

    Citrate inhibits phosphofructokinase (Glycolytic enzyme) and activates acetyl co-A carboxylase (Fatty acid synthesis enzyme)
