Biological Activity
Pyruvate decarboxylase is a key enzyme in alcoholic fermentation. Pyruvate decarboxylase is found in yeast, some bacteria and a number of plants. All the Pyruvate decarboxylases from yeast and bacteria studied so far are tetramers in the native state and built up of identical or almost identical subunits with molecular masses of about 60 kDa. Plant Pyruvate decarboxylases are organised in higher oligomers although the subunit masses are similar to those from yeast and bacteria[1].
