Pyruvate dehydrogenase assembly. Animation showing the self assembly of the three enzymes of the protein complex pyruvate dehydrogenase. The molecule has a cubic symmetry. First 24 subunits of dihydrolipoyl transacetylase (green) assemble, followed by 24 subunits of pyruvate dehydrogenase (yellow and blue) and then 12 subunits of dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase (red). This enzyme complex is responsible for the step that links glycolysis to the citric acid (Krebs) cycle, the processes by which cells convert glucose to energy. | |
