The function of the enzyme dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase (E3) in the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex is to:
 a. form a hydroxyethyl derivative of the thiazole ring of enzyme-bound thiamine pyrophosphate
  b. transfer an acetyl group from a bound lipoyl group on the enzyme to the thiol of CoA
  c. transfer of a hydroxyethyl group of the E-TPP-CHOH-CH3 complex to one of the sulfur atoms of the cyclic disulfide group of lipoic acid
  d. decarboxylate the hydroxyethyl group bound to the thiamine pyrophosphate coenzyme
  e. regenerate the oxidized lipoic acid cofactor bound to one of the other enzymes in the complex
