Answer #1

(a) Pyruvate decarboxylase is a homotetrameric enzyme that catalyses the decarboxylation of pyruvate to acetaldehyde

(b)Pyruvate carboxylase (PC) encoded by the gene PC is an enzyme of the ligase class that catalyzes (depending on the species) the physiologically irreversible carboxylation of pyruvate to form oxaloacetate (OAA).

(c)Transamination of pyruvate gives alanine

(d)Reduction of pyruvate gives lactate

(e)PDH is a large mitochondrial matrix enzyme complex that catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate to form acetylCoA
