Describe the role played by each enzyme, cofactor and coenzyme of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex.
(a) Match a cofactor of pyruvate dehydrogenase with function given in the box. Cofactor A. Coenzyme A (COA-SH) B. NAD C. Thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) D. FAD E. Lipoamide in oxidized form Functions: Acyl acceptor Electron sink Nucleophile A swinging arm General base ® Oxidizer © Electron conduit Hydrogen atom carrier Reductant (b) Which one of the five steps of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex reaction is most likely to be metabolically irreversible? Explain.
Write out the reaction catalyzed by the E2 enzymatic component of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. Describe the specific role of each cofactor in this reaction.
Which subunits of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex are homologous to those in the glycine cleavage system? Explain the role of each cofactor in the glycine cleavage system as it compares to those in the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex.
QUESTION 2 The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex O a. leads to the formation of coenzyme A (COA). Ob.catalyzes key reactions in glycolysis. Oc oxidizes NADH to NAD+. d. can be found in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells.
Lipoamide is a coenzyme prosthetic group for several enzymes,
including the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. In the pyruvate
dehydrogenase reaction the prosthetic group cycles through three
distinct structural forms: the oxidized form, the reduced form, and
the reduced form with an acetyl group bound. Modify the three
partial structures below to represent these three structural forms.
R–NH represents a lysine amino residue of the dihydrolipoyl
transacetylase subunit of pyruvate dehydrogenase, to which the
lipoamide is attached.
R-NH R-NH R-NH If you...

The first reaction of the Krebs cycle combines Oxaloacetate and Acetyl CoA to make Citrate b. a. Malate and NADH to make Citrate a-ketoglutarate and citrate to make CO2 d. c- Succinate and Citrate to make Oxaloacetate 13. The electrons held by NADH and FADH, are donated to the which complexes in the ETC respectively?...
(5 points): The alpha-ketogluterate dehydrogenase complex uses three proteins and 5 different co-factors to convert pyruvate to acetyl-CoA. Identify these three proteins and five co-factors and describe the chemical role that each plays in the reaction mechanism of the a-KGDH complex. Write the balanced equation for the overall reaction catalyzed by this enzyme.
