Abstract
This paper describes the functions, structure and activity of pyruvate decarboxylase. The paper also explains that the enzyme is very stable, and extremely easy to purify as well as its kinetic property and the oxidation processes for the enzyme. Additionally, the paper describes the anaerobic conditions of pyruvate decarboxylase and the three stages of aerobic respiration. Numerous figures are provided throughout the paper to help explain the topic.
From the Paper
"The curve for v[S], the same as pryuvate decarboxylase, shows that catalytic activity inside of the enzyme has to be regulated by a substrate. The inactive enzyme can only be activated by 2-oxo acids and 2-oxo acid amides. These cannot be a substrate inside of the enzyme. The actual dissociation constant completely depends on electrophilic nature of a carbonyl group, the structure of the activator molecules are completely independent from the saturation concentration of the catalytic activity."

Abstract
Carbohydrates and fatty acids are major energy sources for muscle activity. Glycogen is stored in muscle tissue to allow quick conversion into glucose or pyruvate for use during times of exertion. However, these storage systems do not always function the way they should. Muscle glycogenoses is a group of glycogen storage diseases affecting muscle tissue. This paper details the various types of muscle glycogenoses, their respective pathways, and the physiological effects.
From the Paper
"The blockage prevents patients from being able to adequately store properly packaged glycogen. The glycogen produced in the pathway lack adequate branching and results in liver and spleen symptoms. Further down the glycogenesis pathway, normally the resulting glycogen can be directly reprocessed into glucose through Acid Maltase. Glycogenosis Type II affects this Acid Maltase enzyme. Glycogen which enters the lysosome to be broken down to glucose never leaves the cell. Instead this metabolic error accumulates glycogen in the lysosomes critically affecting cellular functions."
