Abstract excerpt
Saccharomyces cerevisiae possesses 2-oxoacid dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.4.4) similar to that found in mammalian cells. The activity is readily detected in cells which have been cultured in a minimal medium containing a branched-chain amino acid. Mutants defective in lipoamide dehydrogenase also lack 2...
