Both oxidative decarboxylation (in higher cells) and non-oxidative decarboxylation (in yeast) use an enzymatic activity called the pyryvate dehydrogenase complex to convert pyruvate from glycolysis into acetyl-Coa for the citric acid cycle. This enzyme complex is in the mitochondrion and requires that pyruvate from the cytoplasm be transported to the mitochondrion. This complex includes the following: Pyruvate decarboxylase (your book calls it “Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Component” (E1) Dihyrolipoamide transacetylase (E2) Dihyrolipoamide dehydrogenase (E3) It also uses the coenzymes, Thiamine Pyrophosphate (TPP), Lipoamide, NAD, FAD, and Coenzyme A (also called CoASH or CoA). 2. The mechanism of the reaction catalyzed by the complex is very similar to that catalyzed by the alpha-keto-glutarate dehydrogenase complex of the Citric Acid Cycle. Both involve oxidation of alpha-keto acids. 3. In aerobic higher organisms, the reaction mechanism involves binding of pyruvate by an ionized TPP, decarboxylation, transfer to the lipoamide molecules, linkage of the

Chef Buff here with the good vibrations, Marky Mark style to give you the goods on this Good Friday. Why’s it good? Because you’re watching this video and in this video RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW. I’m going to help everyone boost their metabolism. And its not going to involve some new South American diet pill or sticking something up your butt- isn’t that awesome? Formula: BMR for males = 66 + (13.7 xw) + (5 xh) – (6.8 xy) BMR for females = 655 + (9.6 xw) + (1.8 xh) – (4.7 xy) where: h = height in centimeters (inches x 2.54) w = weight in kilograms (pounds รท 2.2) y = age in years Why should you care? Because everyone’s metabolism sucks. Seriously. From crash dieting, to not eating right, to being lazy, everyone needs a faster metabolism. By boosting your metabolism, you burn more calories and will lose more weight and be sexier. And everyone wants that. Shit my metabolism is so jacked up that making this video I’m not even wearing any PANTS. Word. A slower metabolism can be caused by several things: 1. Eating too few calories 2. Dieting too long 3. Burnt out adrenal glands or high stress levels 4. Thyroid Problems 5. Not exercising enough and watching too much American Idol 6. Absence of lean muscle, if you look like a skeleton
