Decarboxylation-redox reaction
occurring in glucose metabolism = The conversion of pyruvate to
Acetyl CoA
The conversion of pyruvate to Acetyl CoA is an example of an
oxidative decarboxylation reaction. In this reaction, Pyruvate (3C)
is converted to Acetyl CoA (2C). One CO2 molecule is released =
Decarboxylation.
In this reaction, 1 NAD+ is reduced to NADH = Redox reaction.
This reaction is catalyzed by Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. It is also known as the link/transition reaction. It occurs in the mitochondrial matrix in eukaryotes and cytoplasm in prokaryotes.
Pyruvate + CoASH + NAD+ ----------> Acetyl CoA + CO2 + NADH + H+
The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex
requires five cofactors.
1. NAD+
2. FAD
3. Lipoic acid
4. Coenzyme A
5. TPP
describe a decarboxylation-redox reaction that occurs during glucose metabolism
In detail, describe a decarboxylation-redox reaction that occurs during glucose metabolism.
a. The metabolism of glucose by glycolysis to acetyl-coenzyme A, followed by the TCA cycle, releases CO2 molecules by oxidative decarboxylation reactions. Write down the oxidative decarboxylation reactions that result in CO2 production. Name the enzyme involved in each reaction and give the names and complete structures of all reactants and products. Only abbreviated names of enzyme cofactors are required. (b) From the steps drawn in part (a) above, how many total ATP molecules would be produced from oxidative phosphorylation?
