pyruvic acid

Grant in 1944 for research on the respiratory enzymes and the mechanism of the biological oxidation of pyruvic acid.

An increased amount of oxygen is necessary to convert the lactic acid back to pyruvic acid at these locations.

The reaction is reversible so that pyruvic acid and arginine can be regenerated.

It may increase the amount of lactic acid and pyruvic acid within the blood.

The substrate (carbohydrate, fat, protein) is broken down into pyruvic acid (3C).

For example, the enzyme will convert L-alanine into pyruvic acid (2-oxopropanoic acid).

It is synthesized in plants via several steps starting from pyruvic acid.

The researchers then spliced in two genes from a bacteria called zymomonas, which can convert pyruvic acid into ethanol.

All enterics initially produce pyruvic acid from glucose metabolism.

The sweet onion's higher water content also dilutes the pyruvic acid.
