Which one of the following would you predict is an allosteric inhibitor of the krebs cycle enzyme, α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase? a) citric acidb) α-ketoglutaric acidc) nad+d) nadhe) adp

D) NADH

Explanation:

Allosteric inhibitor alters protein conformation in the active site of the enzyme by binding to allosteric site. It consequently changes shape of the active site due to which the enzyme is unable to perform catalytic activity and become inactive.

The reaction catalyzed by α-Ketoglutarate dehydrogenase is:

α-Ketoglutarate + NAD⁺ + CoA-SH ⇒ succinyl-CoA + NADH + H⁺ + CO₂

α-Ketoglutarate dehydrogenase is inhibited by both succinyl CoA and NADH which are the products of reaction which it catalyzes. In addition to it, α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase is also inhibited by high energy charge.

advantage of using stem cells in medical research:

1.       it provides medical benefits in the fields of therapeutic cloning and regenerative medicine.

2. it provides great potential for discovering treatments and cures to a variety of diseases including parkinson disease, spinal cord injuries, diabetes, alzheimer’s disease and many more.

3. limbs and organ could be grown in lab from stem cells and then used in transplant or treat illness.
