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.

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 ...

Real-time carbon allocation into biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) and respiratory carbon dioxide (CO2) traced by PTR-TOF-MS, 13CO2 laser spectroscopy and 13C-pyruvate labelling. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Our understanding of biogenic volatile organic compound (BVOC) emissions improved substantially during the last years. Nevertheless, there are still large uncertainties of processes controlling plant carbon investment into BVOCs, of some biosynthetic ...

The regulation and catalytic mechanism of the NADP-malic enzyme from tobacco leaves [PDF]
Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society, 2009 The non-photosynthetic NADP-malic enzyme EC 1.1.1.40 (NADP-ME), which catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of L-malate and NADP+ to produce pyruvate and NADPH, respectively, and which could be involved in plant defense responses, was isolated from ...
