- The enzyme 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase is part of the pentose pathway for glucose oxidation. What enzyme that is involved in glucose oxidation by the citric acid cycle has a very similar reaction mechanism to 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase? A) isocitrate dehydrogenase B) alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase C) succinate dehydrogenase D) malate dehydrogenase E) pyruvate dehydrogenase (99+ RATI aarrow_forwardWhat is the role of alcohol dehydrogenase ?arrow_forward2. Why do enzymes become inactive at very low temperature? Why do enzymes become inactive at very high temperatures? (Hint: It is NOT the same reason.)arrow_forward
- Describe a way to determine the rate of the alcohol dehydrogenase catalyzed oxidation of ethanol by NAD+.arrow_forwardThere are eight chemical reactions that occur in the citric acid cycle process. The reactions of the citric acid cycle are shown in the figure below. You were introduced to several classes of organic reactions. These classes include esterification, decarboxylation, hydration reactions, dehydration of alcohols, oxidation of alcohols, oxidation of aldehydes, reduction of aldehydes, and reduction of ketones. Find at least one of these reaction classes in the citric acid cycle. List the reaction number and the reaction. Write a sentence or two on how you were able to make the classification.arrow_forwardThe enzyme that catalyzes this reaction is a(n) H 1000 CH3 Acetaldehyde Otransferase NADH + H+ ligase Olyase oxidoreductase hydrolase alcohol dehydrogenase NAD+ OH CH2 CH3 Ethanolarrow_forward

- What is lactated dehydrogenase, and how is it used in the reduction of carbonyl groups? Explain the manner in which the isoenzymes of LDH can be used as diagnostic tools. Choose one other diagnostic test not using LDH isoenzymes that might be used for the same application and explain what advantages and disadvantages exist over using LDH isoenzymes.arrow_forwardPlease detail the chemical reaction catalyzed by alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH).
