Impaired oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate in fibroblasts from patients with Parkinson's disease

open access: closedJournal of Neural Transmission - Parkinson's Disease and Dementia Section, 1994
Whether or not a reported deficiency in brain mitochondrial complex I activity in Parkinson's disease represents a defect encompassing other organs or tissues has been a source of some controversy. We have examined mitochondrial respiration in fibroblasts from patients with Parkinson's disease by measuring the oxidative decarboxylation of [2-14C ...

Carbon kinetic isotope effects on pyruvate decarboxylation catalyzed by yeast pyruvate decarboxylase and models

open access: closedJournal of the American Chemical Society, 1978
Carbon-13 kinetic isotope effects were determined on pyruvate decarboxylation catalyzed by the enzyme yeast pyruvate decarboxylase and by thiamin, and in CHDT/sup +/Cl/sup -/ (2(1-carboxyl-1-hydroxyethyl)-3,4-dimethylthiazolium chloride). The CHDT/sup +/Cl/sup -/ gave an effect of 1.051 corresponding to the maximum isotope effect anticipated for CO/sub

Carbon-13 and deuterium isotope effects on oxalacetate decarboxylation by pyruvate carboxylase

open access: closedBiochemistry, 1986
Deuterium and 13C isotope effects for the enzymic decarboxylation of oxalacetate showed that both deuterium- and 13C-sensitive steps in the reaction are partially rate limiting. A normal alpha-secondary effect of 1.2 per deuterium was calculated for the reaction in which pyruvate-d3 was the substrate, suggesting that the enolate of pyruvate was an ...

Decarboxylation of oxalacetate by pyruvate carboxylase

Biochemistry, 1986
The decarboxylation of oxalacetate by pyruvate carboxylase in the absence of ADP and Pi is stimulated 400-fold by the presence of oxamate, which is an inhibitory analogue of pyruvate. The observation of substrate inhibition when either oxamate or oxalacetate is varied at a fixed concentration of the other indicates that both molecules bind at the same ...

Decarboxylation and carboxylation of pyruvate in the living mice

Biochimie, 1979
Mice received intravenously [1- or 2-14C]acetate, [1-, 2- or 3-14C] or [2-14C]pyruvate and were killed 1, 3, 5 or 15 min later. The radioactivity of CO2 or HCO3- of liver or carcass as well as the radioactivity of blood glucose were measured. The ratio of the radioactivity found in these compounds after [3-14C] or [2-14C-A1pyruvate injection suggests ...

Estimation of pyruvate decarboxylation in perfused rat skeletal muscle

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1983
By the determination of pyruvate dehydrogenase activity in tissue homogenates only limited information is gained on the actual metabolic flux. We therefore determined pyruvate decarboxylation in isolated rat hindlimbs non recirculating perfused with physiological (1-14C)pyruvate levels.

Decarboxylation of pyruvic acid in aqueous solution by thermal proteinoids

Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 1968
Abstract Thermal proteinoids accelerate the conversion of pyruvic acid to carbon dioxide and acetic acid. The reaction follows Michaelis-Menten kinetics. Co-poly(glutamic acid-threonine) and co-poly (glutamic acid-leucine) were found to be the most active of simple co-polymers and even more active than proteinoid.

A DFT study of the structures of pyruvic acid isomers and their decarboxylation

Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry, 2006
Pyruvic acid and its isomers, including the enol tautomers and enantiomeric lactone structures, have been investigated at the B3LYP/6-311 + + G(3df,3pd) level, and it is found that a keto form with trans C(methyl)C(keto)C(acid)O(hydroxyl) and cis C(keto)C(acid)OH, and with one methyl hydrogen in a synperiplanar position with respect to the keto oxygen,
