Using the Equations of Enzyme Kinetics to Treat Methanol Intoxication Liver alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) is relatively nonspecific and will oxidize ethanol or other alcohols, including methanol. Methanol oxidation yields formaldehyde, which is quite toxic, causing, among other things, blindness. Mistaking it for the cheap wine he usually prefers, my dog Clancy ingested about 50 mL of windshield washer fluid (a solution 50% in methanol). Knowing that methanol would be excreted eventually by Clancy's kidneys if its oxidation could be blocked, and realizing that, in terms of methanol oxidation by ADH. ethanol would act as a competitive inhibitor, I decided to offer Clancy some wine. How much of Clancy's favorite vintage (12% ethanol) must he consume in order to lower the activity of his ADH on methanol to 5% of its normal value if the Km values of canine ADH for ethanol and methanol are 1 millimolar and 10 millimolar, respectively? (The K1 for ethanol in its role as competitive inhibitor of methanol oxidation by ADH is the same as its Km) Both the methanol and ethanol will quickly distribute throughout Clancy's body fluids, which amount to about 15 L. Assume the densities of 50% methanol and the wine are both 0.9 g/mL.arrow_forwardAnswers to all problems are at the end of this book.

Table 5.4 presents some of the many known mutations in the genes encoding the a- and -globin subunits of hemoglobin. a. Some of these mutations affect subunit interactions between the Subunits. In an examination of the tertiary structure of globin chains, where would you expect to find amino acid changes in mutant globins that affect formation of the hemoglobin 22quaternary structure? b. Other mutations, such as the S form of the-globin chain, increase the tendency of hemoglobin tetramers to polymerize into very large structures. Where might you expect the amino acid substitutions to be in these mutants?arrow_forwardAnswers to all problems are at the end of this book.

Human hemoglobin can react with sugars in the blood (usually glucose) to form covalent adducts. The α-amino groups of N-terminal valine in the Hb -subunits react with the C-1 (aldehyde) carbons of monosaceharides to form aldimine add wets, which rearrange to form very stable ketoamine products. Quantitation of this “glycated hemoglobin is important clinically, especially for diabetic individuals. Suggest at least three methods by which glycated lib (also referred to as HbA1c) could be separated from normal Hb and quantitated.arrow_forward
