Solution
The correct option is Bα-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase Alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase is a complex enzyme system functional in Krebs cycle and catalyzes the 5th step of Krebs cycle. In this coenzyme A reacts with α- ketoglutarate forming 4-carbon succinyl coenzyme A and releasing carbon dioxide and a pair of hydrogen atoms. The pair of hydrogen atoms pairs two electrons and one proton to NAD +, forming NADH and H+.
