Question
Chapter 18.9, Problem 18P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The structure should be drawn for the decarboxylation of the pyruvate –TPP intermediate and the decarboxylation of a Beta – keto group and then similarity between these two structures has to be shown.
Concept introduction:
Thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) is the coenzyme required by enzymes that catalyse the transfer of an acyl group.
