Wood that I Could

Mechanisms and principles associated with organic and biochemistry; just remember that a grain of salt or two should be taken with each bite:) Each post will have a brief introduction to the purpose of the post, and THERE WILL BE AN AUDIOVISUAL TUTORIAL CORRESPONDING to the the theme. Just click on the link:) Also, I couldn't figure out how to reverse the order to oldest to newest, so you have to go from the bottom of the page to start at the beginning. GOOD LUCK ON YOUR EXAMS!!!

Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex

Here's more on "Step Two"

The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex is a complex of three different enzymes. This is another site of oxidation which means that we will harness that energy in an NAD+ molecule like we always do (except when we don't:)

One cool thing to notice... the actual reduction of NAD+ happens many steps after the carbonyl on the pyruvate has lost its CO2

This is just brief representation of what happens: PYRUVATE DEHYDROGENASE COMPLEX!!!
