Acid are the trivial name
for 6,8-dithiooctanoic acid, (
HSCH2CH2CH(SH)C4H8COOH ) which
is regarded as a coenzyme in
the oxoglutarate dehydrogenase
complex of the citric acid
cycle. It is generally involved
in oxidative decarboxylations
of keto acids and is presented
as a growth factor for some
organisms
Alpha Lipoic Acid and Lipoic
Acid are a necessary cofactor
of the pyruvate dehydrogenase,
branched-chain a-keto acid
dehydrogenase, and
a-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase
complexes; it contains a
reactive disulfide group that
can bind and transfer reaction
intermediates. In the enzyme
complexes it occurs as
lipoamide
