[Structuro-kinetic organization of the tricarboxylic acid cycle in the active functioning of mitochondria].
Taking into account structural and functional organization of mitochondrial processes it has been shown that at active work there functions in mitochondria an accelerated mechanism of succinic acid formation via coupling of glutamate-oxalacetate transaminase and alpha-ketoglutaratdehydrogenase. This way is closed up into a cycle with the participation of cytosol transaminases which support influx of glutamate, pyruvate and malic acid into mitochondria. When provision of the mitochondria with the substrate proceeds along the transaminase pathway the initial slow region of the tricarboxylic acid cycle is omitted. Thus at active work a faster course is selected. It permits realization of the advantages of succinate dehydrogenase high activity and of oxidation efficiency of succinic acid generated in mitochondria which is essentially higher than that under oxidation of succinic acid and even more of other substrates of the tricarboxylic acid cycle.
