What is the role of Mg2+ ion in conversation of 2 pyruvic acid to acetyl coA
  • 1 answers

Meghna Thapar 5 years, 4 months ago

In the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl CoA, each pyruvate molecule loses one carbon atom with the release of carbon dioxide. During the breakdown of pyruvate, electrons are transferred to NAD+ to produce NADH, which will be used by the cell to produce ATP. ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the main source of energy in cells, must bind to a magnesium ion in order to be biologically active. ... As such, magnesium plays a role in the stability of all polyphosphate compounds in the cells, including those associated with the synthesis of DNA and RNA.
