Pyruvate dehydrogenase,Acetyl CoA

Vedclass · Answer

(C) The correct answer is $C$.
In the given reaction,Pyruvic acid undergoes oxidative decarboxylation to form Acetyl CoA.
This reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme complex Pyruvate dehydrogenase in the presence of $Mg^{2+}$ ions.
Therefore,$X$ represents the enzyme Pyruvate dehydrogenase and $Y$ represents the product Acetyl CoA.
The overall reaction is:
$	ext{Pyruvic acid} + 	ext{CoA} + 	ext{NAD}^+ \xrightarrow[	ext{Pyruvate dehydrogenase}]{	ext{Mg}^{2+}} 	ext{Acetyl CoA} + 	ext{CO}_2 + 	ext{NADH} + 	ext{H}^+$

In the following reaction,identify $X$ and $Y$ respectively.
$\text{Pyruvic acid} + \text{CoA} + \text{NAD}^+ \xrightarrow[X]{\text{Mg}^{2+}} Y + \text{CO}_2 + \text{NADH} + \text{H}^+$
