Question
Chapter 17, Problem 14P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
To explain a reasonable mechanism for the conversion of ethanol to acetaldehyde.
Introduction:
Alcohol Dehydrogenase is an oxidoreductase enzyme present in the cytosol of stomach and liver cells which is capable of converting alcohol into acetaldehyde via oxidation while reducing NAD+ molecule (co factor) into NADH. During catabolism when substrates such as carbohydrates, fats and etc. are subjected to oxidative reactions the energy is usually released as hydride ions and in ethyl alcoholthe carbon atom which has a hydroxyl group attached is comparatively in a more reduced state, which makes it a substrate with more chemical energy.
