Name the site (s) of pyruvate synthesis....

Name the site (s) of pyruvate synthesis. Also, write the chemical reaction wherein pyruvic acid dehydrogenase acts as a catalyst.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Pyruvate is made at the end of Glycolysis . Two molecules of pyruvate are formed from molecule of Glucose.
Pyruvic acid dehydrogenase forms Acetyl CoA from pyruvic acid. For that `NAD^(+)` coenzyme A and `Mg^(+2)` are necessary .
Equation :
Pyruvic acid `+ CoA + NAD + underset("Pyruvate dehydrogenase ")overset (MG^(+2))to "Acetyl "CoA + NADH + H^(+) + CO_(2) uarr`
