First step
Pyruvate reacts with TPP and is decarboxylated, forming hydroxyethyl-TPP.
The lipoamide arm of E2 moves to the active site of E1, enabling the transfer of the
acetyl group to the lipoamide.
FADH$_2$ is reoxidized to FAD, reducing NAD$^+$ to NADH.
The lipoamide arm moves to the active site of E3, where the reduced lipoamide is
oxidized by FAD, forming the active lipoamide and FADH$_2$.
The acetyl lipoamide arm of E2 moves to the active site of E2, where the acetyl group is
transferred to CoA, forming acetyl-CoA and the reduced form of lipoamide.
