Identify cofactor that adds a thiazolium ring to pyruvate


Question: You have not correctly identified the cofactor that adds a thiazolium ring to pyruvate's α carbon, and then acts as an electron sink to stabilize the resulting carbanion. After loosing CO2 , the remainder of the pyruvate molecule binds to this cofactor as a hydroxyethyl group. This cofactor works with the first enzyme in the complex, pyruvate dehydrogenase.
