Question

The core of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex is made up of eight catalytic________that make up the_______component.

a. monomers; E1b. dimers; E2c. dimers; E3d. trimers; E2

Answer 1

(D.)

The core of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex is made up of eight catalytic trimers that make up the E2 component.

Step-by-step explanation:

Eight trimers assemble as a hollow truncated cube, which forms the core of the multi-enzyme complex, known as the E2 complex in human pyruvate dehydrogenase complex.
