SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on resources for understanding pyruvate oxidation and the role of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex in cellular metabolism. Key resources mentioned include a Wikipedia page on the Krebs cycle and a biochemistry site from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, which provides comprehensive diagrams and explanations. The RPI site is highlighted as particularly useful for exam preparation and offers links to additional metabolic pathways.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of cellular respiration
  • Familiarity with the Krebs cycle
  • Knowledge of metabolic pathways
  • Ability to interpret biochemical diagrams
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the Krebs cycle in detail on the Wikipedia page
  • Review the RPI biochemistry resources for additional metabolic pathways
  • Study the mechanisms of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex
  • Investigate the regulation of pyruvate oxidation in cellular metabolism
USEFUL FOR

Students studying biochemistry, educators teaching metabolic pathways, and researchers interested in cellular respiration mechanisms.

Does anyone know where I can find information or diagrams of Pyruvate oxidation/pyruvate dehydrogenase. (on the internet)

The site I posted above is SUPER... I found it really useful in studying for my exam. Of course, I don't know how advanced the material you are looking for is, but it pretty much covers a lot of stuff. If you go to the bottom there is a link to the index for that university's biochemistry page.. it has lots of useful links there to do with other parts of metabolism :)
