Which one of the following enzymes provides a link between glycolysis and the citric acid cycle?
High-Yield Explanation
PDH complex consist of 3 Enzymes and 5 Coenzymes
Three enzymes are:
Pyruvate Dehydrogenase bound to Thiamin Diphosphate
Dihydrolipoyl Transacetylase, the prosthetic group is oxidised Lipomide
Dihydrolipoyl Dehydrogenase, contains FAD.
Coenzymes (very important)
Thiamine Diphosphate (TDP)
Lipomide
Coenzyme A
FAD
NAD
Key Concept:
Pyruvate Dehydrogenase which converts pyruvate to acetyl CoA provides a connecting link between glycolysis and citric acid cycle.
