Question
GR
Methanol and ethanol bind to the same active site on the enzyme
alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) to undergo oxidation, as shown in
the equations below. In methanol poisoning, ethanol is given
intravenously to prevent the formation of formaldehyde that has
toxic effects. In this scenario, what type of inhibitor is ethanol with
regard to alcohol dehydrogenase catalyzing the oxidation of
methanol?
