Pyruvate dehydrogenase multienzyme complex carries out all the following reactions EXCEPT:: (A) A decarboxylation reaction, (B) Produce a molecule of ATP, (C) Produce an acetyl group from pyruvate, (D) Combine the acetyl group with a cofactor
Answer is B. PDH reaction Oxidative decarboxylation reaction (option a is correct) Pyruvate is conveed to acetyl-CoA - (option c is correct) Acetyl group is combined with CoA cofactor - (option d is correct) NADH is produced in PDH reaction. No substrate level production of ATP - (option b is wrong)
