QUESTION:
What are the similarities and differences between the reactions catalyzed by pyruvate dehydrogenase and \(\alpha\) -ketoglutarate dehydrogenase?
ANSWER:Step 1 of 3
The enzyme that catalyzes the reaction of pyruvate and lipoamide to generate acetylated lipoamide and carbon dioxide is pyruvate dehydrogenase.
The \(\alpha\)-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex constitutes an enzyme complex that is prominent for its role in the citric acid cycle.
