at http://www.rpi.edu/dept/bcbp/molbiochem/MBWeb/mb1/part2/krebs.htm "Pyruvate Dehydrogenase is a large complex, with multiple copies of each of three enzymes, E1, E2, and E3. The structure of the complex is depicted in figures on p. 769 & 774 of Biochemistry, 3rd Edition, by Voet & Voet. The core of the complex consists of 60 copies of E2. At the periphery of the complex are:
- 30 copies of E1 (itself a tetramer with subunits a2b2) and
- 12 copies of E3 (a homodimer), plus 12 copies of an E3 binding protein that links E3 to E2."

- EC number 1.2.4.1 is also a pyruvate dehydrogenase.
