The pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) complex catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate to acetyl‑CoA and CO2.CO2. Multiple copies of pyruvate dehydrogenase (E1), dihydrolipoyl transacetylase (E2), and dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase (E3) along with five cofactors form the PDH complex. Biochemists have studied the PDH complex for decades, in part due to its interesting use of substrate channeling during catalysis. What is the benefit of substrate channeling? A. Intermediates of a multistep reaction sequence do not dissociate from the enzyme complex. B. Every intermediate or product made by the PDH complex enters the citric acid cycle as a substrate. C. The PDH complex sequesters excess substrate to use at later time. D. Reaction progress is not limited by the diffusion constant. E.The PDH active site forms in the hydrophobic core of the complex instead of a surface‑exposed region.

The citric acid cycle converts each acetyl-CoA to [1/2/3/4] molecules of CO2. This pathway is considered [catabolic/anabolic] because it breaks down acetyl-CoA into smaller molecules and [catabolic/anabolic] because the intermediates are building blocks for other metabolites in the cell. The citric acid cycle produces [1/2/3] NADH and [1/2/3] FADH2 for every acetyl-CoA consumed.   help fill in the blanks

Because dichloroacetate inhibits the enzyme pyruvatedehydrogenase kinase, this compound has been used,with limited results, to treat lactic acidosis. The phosphorylation of the a-subunit of the pyruvate dehydrogenasecomponent of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex bypyruvate dehydrogenase kinase causes complete loss ofenzymatic activity. Describe the theory behind the clinicaluse of dichloroacetate.

Remembering that the Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex and the alpha ketoglugarate complex catalyze similar reactions, please match the following terms with its description: Dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase (E3) 1) an alpha-keto acid that undergoes oxidative decarboxylation 2) is analogous to the pyruvate dehydrogenase reaction in which there's an oxidative decarboxylation with a concomitant formation of an acyl-CoA thioester 3) is analogous to the pyruvate dehydrogenase reaction and the isocitrate dehydrogenase reaction in which there's an oxidative decarboxylation with a concomitant formation of an acyl-CoA thioester 4) catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of alpha ketoglutarate 5) regenerates active dihydrolipoyl transacetylase (E2) 6) catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of succinyl coa 7) catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of alpha isocitrate 8) catalyzes the formation of Succinyl CoA Alpha ketoglutarate The alpha ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex Alpha ketoglutarate…
