Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lipoate functions to couple acyl-group transfer and electron transfer during oxidation and decarboxylations of α-keto acids. Neither biotin nor TPP are involved in these specific reactions, and while lipoate can also function in the transfer of acyl groups from propionyl-CoA, this is not the primary function described in the question.
