Which subunits of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex are homologous to those in the glycine cleavage system? Explain the role of each cofactor in the glycine cleavage system as it compares to those in the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex.
Glycine cleavage system and pyruvate dehydrogenase complexes share the same Dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase. In both the cases NAD+ and FAD are the cofactors and it is converted to NADH +H+ and FADH2 after the reaction is completed (Pyruvate is converted to Acetate and Glycine to Serine for Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex and Glycine cleavage system respectively).

1. The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex converts pyruvate to acetyl-CoA. What are the steps that pyruvate undergoes? Which coenzymes are involved in each step? 2. Mitochondrial extracts from pigeon breast muscle were incubated with Experiment 1: Amytal, an inhibitor of complex I Experiment 2: Malonate, a competitive inhibitor of succinate dehydrogenase Which experiment will yield more ATP when the cycle is primed with intermediates?
(5 points): The alpha-ketogluterate dehydrogenase complex uses three proteins and 5 different co-factors to convert pyruvate to acetyl-CoA. Identify these three proteins and five co-factors and describe the chemical role that each plays in the reaction mechanism of the a-KGDH complex. Write the balanced equation for the overall reaction catalyzed by this enzyme.
Lipoamide is a coenzyme prosthetic group for several enzymes, including the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. In the pyruvate dehydrogenase reaction the prosthetic group cycles through three distinct structural forms: the oxidized form, the reduced form, and the reduced form with an acetyl group bound. Modify the three partial structures below to represent these three structural forms. R–NH represents a lysine amino residue of the dihydrolipoyl transacetylase subunit of pyruvate dehydrogenase, to which the lipoamide is attached. R-NH R-NH R-NH If you...
