Expert Solution
Step 1

The α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex, also known as oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex plays an important role in the Citric acid cycle. It helps in the oxidative decarboxylation of  α-ketoglutarate to form succinyl-CoA. The enzyme complex consists of 3 components, they are mentioned as follows:

  • E1- α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase
  • E2- dihydrolipoyl transsuccinylase
  • E3- dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase
