Pyruvate (PYR) dehydrogenase complex (PDC) is an enzymatic system that plays a crucial role in cellular metabolism as it controls the entry of carbon into the Krebs cycle. Recent experimental investigations highlighted its important role in cancer metabolism and indicated it as a potential target for the development of new anticancer therapies.<\/p>\n

In the study entitled \u2018How phosphorylation influences E1 subunit pyruvate dehydrogenase: A computational study<\/em>\u2019, published in Scientific Reports<\/em>, a team of scientists led by Andrea Cavalli clarified by computational techniques how this enzyme is regulated by phosphorylation of specific serine residues.<\/p>\n

The results of this work improve the knowledge of the PDC functional mechanism and suggest new strategies of pharmacological intervention in both cancer and rare metabolic diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
