The Pyruvate dehydrogenase hydrated E1-E2 interface is enthalpy driven, while the dehydrated E3-peripheral subunit binding domain complex is driven by entropy obtaining a favourable delta G= delta H-T delta S= -33.4kj mol where the domain interfacial hydration obtains surface thermal complementarity and contributes finally to an aggregate strength of multiple affinities of individual non-covalent binding interactions via enthalpy-driven catalysis.
Lipoamidase activity of mitochondrial Sirtuin 4 modulates cellular fate by generating a debilitating removal of PDH-E2 dihydrolipoyllysine acetyltransferase-bound lipoic acid thus driving glutaminolysis over glucose oxidation.
