Which precursors accumulate in patients with niacin deficiency. What effect does this deficiency have on the pyruvate dehydrogenase enzyme complex
The pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) complex catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate to acetyl‑CoA and CO2.CO2. Multiple copies of pyruvate dehydrogenase (E1), dihydrolipoyl transacetylase (E2), and dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase (E3) along with five cofactors form the PDH complex. Biochemists have studied the PDH complex for decades, in part due to its interesting use of substrate channeling during catalysis. What is the benefit of substrate channeling? A. Intermediates of a multistep reaction sequence do not dissociate from the enzyme complex. B. Every intermediate or product made by the PDH complex enters the citric acid cycle as a substrate. C. The PDH complex sequesters excess substrate to use at later time. D. Reaction progress is not limited by the diffusion constant. E.The PDH active site forms in the hydrophobic core of the complex instead of a surface‑exposed region.

Biochemists have studied the PDH complex for decades, in part due to its interesting use of substrate channeling during catalysis. What is the molecular mechanism of substrate channeling in the PDH complex? A. The swinging lipoyllysyl arm of E2 carries electrons and an acetyl group from E1 to E2. B.The active sites of E1, E2, and E3 undergo conformational changes that move products of one reaction to their next position without solvent exposure. C.Electrons and an acetyl group travel between E1 and E2 through a tunnel in E2. D. Metal ions coordinated with thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) in E1 shield the electrons and acetyl group from scavenging by other enzymes until they reach E3.
