Question

Which of the following coenzymes/prosthetic groups are required by PDH complex for its functioning ? A. NAD
B. TPP
C. FMN
D. FAD
E. ATP
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

• A. \(A, B, C, D\) only
• B. \(A, B, C, E\) only
• C. \(B, C, D, E\) only
• D. \(A, B, D\) only

Hint:

Remember the five cofactors of PDH complex: \[ \text{TPP, Lipoamide, CoA, FAD, NAD}^+ \] Mnemonic: \[ \textbf{TLCFN} \]
• T \(\rightarrow\) TPP
• L \(\rightarrow\) Lipoamide
• C \(\rightarrow\) CoA
• F \(\rightarrow\) FAD
• N \(\rightarrow\) NAD\(^+\)

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D
