==Physical and chemical properties==
Lipoic acid contains two sulfur atoms connected by a [[disulfide bond]] in the 1,2-[[dithiolane]] ring. It also carries a carboxylic acid group. It is considered to be oxidized relative to its acyclic relative dihydrolipoic acid, in which each sulfur exists as a thiol.<ref name=lpi/> It is a yellow solid.

==Biological function==
Lipoic acid is a cofactor for five enzymes or classes of enzymes: [[pyruvate dehydrogenase]], a[[Oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex|αあるふぁ-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase]], the [[glycine cleavage system]], branched[[Branched-chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase complex|branched-chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase]], and the alphaαあるふぁ-oxo(keto)adipate dehydrogenase. The first two are critical to the [[citric acid cycle]]. The GCS regulates [[glycine]] concentrations.<ref>{{cite journal |doi=10.3389/fgene.2020.00510|doi-access=free |title=Progress in the Enzymology of the Mitochondrial Diseases of Lipoic Acid Requiring Enzymes |year=2020 |last1=Cronan |first1=John E. |journal=Frontiers in Genetics |volume=11 |page=510 |pmid=32508887 |pmc=7253636 }}</ref>

===Biosynthesis and attachment===
Most endogenously produced RLA are not "free" because octanoic acid, the precursor to RLA, is bound to the enzyme complexes prior to enzymatic insertion of the sulfur atoms. As a cofactor, RLA is covalently attached by an amide bond to a terminal lysine residue of the enzyme's lipoyl domains.
The precursor to lipoic acid, [[octanoic acid]], is made via [[fatty acid biosynthesis]] in the form of octanoyl-[[acyl carrier protein]].<ref name=lpi/> In [[eukaryotes]], a second fatty acid biosynthetic pathway in [[mitochondria]] is used for this purpose.<ref name=lpi/> The octanoate is transferred as a thioester of [[acyl carrier protein]] from [[fatty acid biosynthesis]] to an [[amide]] of the lipoyl domain protein by an [[enzyme]] called an octanoyltransferase.<ref name=lpi/> Two hydrogens of octanoate are replaced with sulfur groups via a [[radical SAM]] mechanism, by [[lipoyl synthase]].<ref name=lpi/> As a result, lipoic acid is synthesized attached to proteins and no free lipoic acid is produced. Lipoic acid can be removed whenever proteins are degraded and by action of the enzyme lipoamidase.<ref>{{cite journal |last1= Jiang |first1= Y |last2= Cronan |first2= JE |year= 2005 |title= Expression cloning and demonstration of ''Enterococcus faecalis'' lipoamidase (pyruvate dehydrogenase inactivase) as a Ser-Ser-Lys triad amidohydrolase |journal= [[Journal of Biological Chemistry]] |volume= 280 |issue= 3 |pages= 2244–56 |pmid= 15528186 |doi= 10.1074/jbc.M408612200 |doi-access= free }}</ref> Free lipoate can be used by some organisms as an enzyme called [[lipoate protein ligase]] that attaches it covalently to the correct protein.

===Cellular transport===
 
Along with [[sodium]] and the vitamins [[biotin]] (B7) and [[pantothenic acid]] (B5), lipoic acid enters cells through the [[Sodium-dependent multivitamin transporter|SMVT]] (sodium-dependent multivitamin transporter). Each of the compounds transported by the SMVT is competitive with the others. For example research has shown that increasing intake of lipoic acid<ref>{{Cite journal|pmid = 9278559|year = 1997|last1 = Zempleni|first1 = J.|last2 = Trusty|first2 = T. A.|last3 = Mock|first3 = D.

===Enzymatic activity===
Lipoic acid is a [[Cofactor (biochemistry)|cofactor]] for at least five [[enzyme]] systems.<ref name=lpi/> Two of these are in the [[citric acid cycle]] through which many organisms turn nutrients into energy. Lipoylated [[enzymes]] have lipoic acid attached to them covalently. The lipoyl group transfers [[acyl]] groups in [[2-oxoacid dehydrogenase]] complexes, and [[methylamine]] group in the [[glycine cleavage complex]] or [[glycine dehydrogenase]].<ref name=lpi/>

The most-studied of these is the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex.<ref name=lpi/> These complexes have three central subunits: E1-3, which are the decarboxylase, lipoyl transferase, and [[dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase]], respectively. These complexes have a central E2 core and the other subunits surround this core to form the complex. In the gap between these two subunits, the lipoyl domain ferries intermediates between the active sites.<ref name=lpi/> The lipoyl domain itself is attached by a flexible linker to the E2 core and the number of lipoyl domains varies from one to three for a given organism. The number of domains has been experimentally varied and seems to have little effect on growth until over nine are added, although more than three decreased activity of the complex.<ref>{{cite journal |last1= Machado |first1= RS |last2= Clark |first2= DP |last3= Guest |first3= JR |title= Construction and properties of pyruvate dehydrogenase complexes with up to nine lipoyl domains per lipoate acetyltransferase chain |journal= FEMS Microbiology Letters |year= 1992 |pages= 243–8 |volume= 79 |issue= 1–3 |doi= 10.1111/j.1574-6968.1992.tb14047.x |pmid= 1478460|doi-access= free }}</ref>

The [[glycine cleavage system]] differs from the other complexes, and has a different nomenclature.<ref name=lpi/> In this system, the H protein is a free lipoyl domain with additional helices, the L protein is a dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase, the P protein is the decarboxylase, and the T protein transfers the [[methylamine]] from lipoate to [[tetrahydrofolate]] (THF) yielding methylene-THF and ammonia. Methylene-THF is then used by serine hydroxymethyltransferase to synthesize [[serine]] from [[glycine]]. This system is part of plant [[photorespiration]].<ref>{{cite journal |last1= Douce |first1= R |last2= Bourguignon |first2= J |last3= Neuburger |first3= M |last4= Rebeille |first4= F |title= The glycine decarboxylase system: A fascinating complex |journal= [[Trends (journals)|Trends in Plant Science]] |year= 2001 |pages= 167–76 |volume= 6 |issue= 4 |doi= 10.1016/S1360-1385(01)01892-1 |pmid= 11286922|bibcode= 2001TPS.....6..167D }}</ref>
