The enzyme responsible for oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate to acetyl Co-A is
Options:
Answer:
C
Solution:
Pyruvate, which is formed by the glycolytic catabolism of carbohydrates in the cytosol, after it enters the mitochondrial matrix undergoes oxidative decarboxylation by a complex set of reactions catalyzed by pyruvic dehydrogenase. The reactions catalyzed by pyruvic dehydrogenase require the participation of several coenzymes, including NAD+ and Coenzyme A. During this process, two molecules of NADH are produced from the metabolism of two molecules of pyruvic acid (produced from one glucose molecule during glycolysis).
