Reactions catalysed by pyruvic dehydrogenase require coenzyme A and:
ANAP plus
BNIM plus
CNIP plus
DNAD plus
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. NAD plus
1. Several coenzymes take part in the linking step.
2. One of them is the standard hydrogen carrier.
3. The reactions require several coenzymes, including NAD plus and Coenzyme A.
4. So the answer is NAD plus.
