TYPES OF NON CODING SEQUENCES

  GENES  The gene is a nucleic acid sequence that is necessary for function of gene product.  Gene may be a protein coding gene whose transcribed RNA is translated into proteins or RNA only genes.  Protein coding genes may be solitary or families or tandem repeats NON –CODING SEQUENCE   The non coding sequence are genes that do not encode the protein.  The amount of non-coding sequence in DNA of organism varies among species.  Eg-Human genome -98% non-coding genes  Prokaryotes -10% non-coding genes  Types of Non coding sequences The non coding sequences can be in the form of following Introns  Anti leader and Anti trailer sequence Promoter sequence Enhancers Pseudogenes Gene fragments Telomeres Non-coding functional RNA Cis-Trans regulatory elements INTRONS  Introns are non-coding sequence that transcribed into RNA  But precursor mRNA removed by splicing during processing.  The eukaryotic genome has large amount of introns...

PDH COMPLEX

       In  this post going to see about PDH Complex
It is a multi enzyme complex. 
OCCURRENCE
It is found in mitochondria.

 DEFINITION
Pyruvate is converted to Acetyl Co A by oxidative decarboxylation catalysed by enzyme Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex.

ENZYMES
It has 3 enzymes
1.PYRUVATE DEHYROGENASE
2.DIHYDRO LIPOYL
3.DIHYDRO LIPOYL
TRANSACETYLASE
DEHYROGENASE

COFACTOR
1.TPP –Thiamine Pyro Phosphate
 2.FAD+-Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide 
3.CoA – Coenzyme A
4.Lipomide
5.NAD+ - Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide

REGULATION
It is regulated by phosporylation and dehosphorylation.
 Calicum stimulate PDH.
INHIBITORS
The NADH and Acetyl coA acts as inhibitor by end product inhibition
 ENERGETICS
OVERALL REACTION
ATP GAINED
1.NAD+ +FADH2➡️ NADH+H+FAD+ = 3ATP

In next post we will see about Krebs cycle
