Take a look at the mechanism and the variables behind decarboxylation, to make sure you get higher the next time you make edibles. THC, and all cannabinoids, starts out with an acid group that ...
Oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate to form acetyl–coenzyme A, a crucial step in many metabolic pathways, is carried out in most aerobic organisms by the multienzyme complex pyruvate dehydrogenase.
The decarboxylation of DOPA by erythrocyte hemolysates differs from DOPA decarboxylation catalyzed by aromatic aminoacid decarboxylases that contain vitamin B 6 in several significant respects. The ...

Acetolactate synthase, also known as acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS), is an enzyme involved in the branched chain amino acid biosynthesis pathway. AHAS is a thiamine diphosphate (ThDP)-dependent ...
Indications: Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex deficiency, typically associated with post-prandial lactic acidemia with a normal lactate/pyruvate ratio, can be assayed in freshly isolated blood ...
