Use numbers to indicate the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex F

Use numbers to indicate the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex: Formation of acetyl CoA Reoxidation of the lipoamide cofactor Decarboxylation of pyruvate to an aldehyde Regeneration of the oxidized FAD cofactor oxidation of aldehyde to a carboxylic acid Gluconeogenesis. Draw the two products of the enzyme (3rd bypass that replaces hexokinase in gluconeogenesis. If glucose is labeled with \"C at its C3 position, where will the label appear in pyruvate? DRAW pyruvate and CIRCLE the^14 C.

Solution

The order of the pyurvate dehydrogenase complex is as follows:

Question 3:

1. Decarboxylation of pyurvate to an aldehyde
2. Oxidation of aldehyde to carboxylic acid
3. Reoxidation of the lipoamide cofactor
4. Formation of Acetyl CoA
5. Regeneration of oxidized FAD co-factor.

Question 4:

The reaction that takes place is as follows:

·         ATP+ Fructose 6- Phosphate ^PFK-1>ADP+Fructose 1,6 –bisphosphate
