The oxidation of pyruvate
…(S) of the coenzyme (6,8-dithio-n-octanoate or lipS₂) of the second enzyme in the complex, dihydrolipoyl transacetylase (enzyme 2). The hydroxyethyl group attaches to lipS₂ at one of its sulfur atoms, as shown in [35]; the result is that coenzyme lipS₂ is reduced and the hydroxyethyl moiety is oxidized.
