Decarboxylation of Pyruvate to Acetaldehyde for Ethanol Production by Hyperthermophiles [PDF]
Biomolecules, 2013 Pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC encoded by pdc) is a thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP)-containing enzyme responsible for the conversion of pyruvate to acetaldehyde in many mesophilic organisms.

Pig liver pyruvate carboxylase. The reaction pathway for the decarboxylation of oxaloacetate [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1974 1. The reaction pathway for the decarboxylation of oxaloacetate, catalysed by pig liver pyruvate carboxylase, was studied in the presence of saturating concentrations of K+ and acetyl-CoA. 2. Free Mg2+ binds to the enzyme in an equilibrium fashion and remains bound during all further catalytic cycles.

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1977 Additional evidence to that already presented (Sauer, F. D., Bush, R. S., and Stevenson, I. L. (1976) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 445, 518-520) suggests that pyruvate-ferredoxin oxidoreductase isolated from Clostridium pasteurianum consists of two separate enzymes: (a) pyruvate lyase, which catalyzes the CoA and electron acceptor-dependent decarboxylation ...

Decarboxylation of oxalacetate to pyruvate by purified avian liver phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1975 Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, which has been isolated from chicken liver mitochondria in essentially homogenous form, carries out the irreversible decarboxylation of oxalacetate to pyruvate in the presence of catalytic amounts of GDP or IDP, as well as the reversible decarboxylation of oxalacetate to phosphoenolpyruvate in the presence of ...

Replacement of Isoleucine and Leucine by their Keto Acids leads to increased formation of α-Hydroxy Acids in Chinese Hamster Ovary cells. [PDF]
Biotechnol JGraphical Abstract and Lay Summary Keto isoleucine and keto leucine are amino acid precursors, which can be used by CHO cells to produce biotherapeutics. The authors demonstrate that the supplementation of the keto acid derivatives in cell culture feeds alters the levels of related by‐products formed during the process.

Aqueous pyruvate partly dissociates under deep ultraviolet irradiation but is resilient to near ultraviolet excitation [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsThe deep ultraviolet photochemistry of aqueous pyruvate is believed to have been essential to the origin of life, and near ultraviolet excitation of pyruvate in aqueous aerosols is assumed to contribute significantly to the photochemistry of the Earth’s ...

Prebiotic Interconversion of Pyruvate and Lactate over Zeolite-Supported Ni Catalyst. [PDF]
Angew Chem Int Ed EnglSynthetic zeolite Y‐supported Ni mineral can catalyze the interconversion of metabolically crucial pyruvate and lactate under hydrothermal vent conditions, which could pave the way for the modern biological process by lactate dehydrogenase and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide.
