Chapter 16, Problem 7P
Interpretation Introduction

(a) Interpretation:

The reaction for acetoacetate reductionshould be identified.

Concept introduction:

The oxidation reaction takes place with help of BDH such as beta-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase in presence of cyanide which blocks the enzyme BDH to stop the further proceeding of the reaction and after that the electron exit the reaction. Cyanide is present to act as cyanide poisoning and acts on the enzyme to inhibits its further action on completion of the reaction.

Interpretation Introduction

(b) Interpretation:

Gibbs value for the reactionshould be identified.
