Question
Chapter 23.3, Problem 8P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The structure should be drawn for the decarboxylation of the pyruvate –TPP intermediate and the decarboxylation of a Beta – keto group and then similarity between these two structures has to be shown.
Concept introduction:
Thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) is the coenzyme required by enzymes that catalyse the transfer of an acyl group.

Draw structures that show the similarity between the decarboxylation of the pyruvate-TPP intermediate and
the decarboxylation of a B-keto acid.
What acyl group does pyruvate decarboxylase transfer to a proton?
Omeprazole is administered
orally as a galenic formulation to
protect it from being activated
during its journey through the
acidic contents of the stomach.
Once it is released in the
intestines, it is absorbed into the
blood supply and carried to the
parietal cells where it crosses the
cell membrane into the canaliculi
and is activated. As the canaliculi
lead directly into the lumen of
the stomach, why is omeprazole
not orally administered directly
to the stomach?
