The conversion of pyruvic acid (pyruvate) to acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) is a key step in cellular respiration, linking glycolysis to the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle). This reaction is an oxidative decarboxylation.
Which enzyme catalyze the conversion of Pyruvic Acid into Acetyl co-enzyme A in the respiratory process?
