Oxidation of pyruvate to acetyl coA is catalysed by the enzyme pyruvate
Oxidation of pyruvate to acetyl coA is catalysed by the enzyme pyruvate
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A dehydrogenase
Pyruvate is produced by the process of glycolysis in the cytoplasm of a cell. From cytoplasm, it enters the mitochondrial matrix, where pyruvate dehydrogenase catalyses a set of reactions, in the presence of coenzymes, to covert pyruvate into acetyl coA. Acetyl coA then enters the Kreb's cycle or the Tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle.
