The olfactory system is involved in the sense of smell. The receptors of smell are not routed through the thalamus. The signals id directly routed from the olfactory bulb to the olfactory cortex and thalamus is not contacted in between. This is the difference between the taste and smell receptors, although both of their receptors are stimulated from mucus/saliva in the mouth.

The order of prosthetic groups as they act in the three proteins of the PDH (pyruvate dehydrogenase) complex is ________.

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

The correct answer will be thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) → dihydrolipoamide → Flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD).

Explanation:

The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex is a multi-functional enzyme which decarboxylates the pyruvate to form Acetyl CoA. The complex consists of three catalytic enzymes which attach the non-protein part to its structure.

The prosthetic groups are the non-protein groups which bound strongly to the enzyme. In this complex the prothetic groups are :

1. Thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP)- attached to Pyruvate dehydrogenase (E1).

2. Lipoamide: attached to dihydrolipoyl transacetylase (E2).

3. Flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD): attached to dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase (E3).

These enzymes work in sequence: E1 →E2→ E3 therefore, the correct order of prosthetic group will be thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) → dihydrolipoamide → Flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD). Thus, this is the correct order.
