Pyruvate decarboxylase is a homotetramer. Each identical subunit consists of approximately alternating α-helices and β-sheets, and 2 domains exist within each 60kDa <scene name='Ken_Engle_SANDBOX/Subunit/7'>subunit</scene>. This means its SCOP category is alpha and beta protein <ref>PMID:9685367</ref>. Being a homotetramer, pyruvate PDC has 4 identical <scene name='Ken_Engle_SANDBOX/Active_site/3'>active sites</scene> that are green surrounding the ligands when the previous link is selected. | Pyruvate decarboxylase is a homotetramer.
