Concept explainers
To explain: Which round of the citric acid cycle will release labeled CO2, if the carbonyl carbon of acetyl CoA is labeled with 14C.
Concept introduction: The pyruvate produced from the glycolysis can enter the citric acid cycle as acetyl CoA and splits into CO2. If the carbonyl carbon of acetyl CoA is labeled, it becomes C4 of the succinyl-CoA.

- Please draw out the mechanism with curved arrows showing electron flow. Pyruvate is accepted into the TCA cycle by a “feeder” reaction using the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, resulting in acetyl-CoA and CO2. Provide the mechanism for this reaction utilizing the TPP cofactor. Include the roles of all cofactors.arrow_forwardPyruvate is accepted into the TCA cycle by a “feeder” reaction using the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, resulting in acetyl-CoA and CO2.
