Chemical Sensitivity Due to Genetic Differences
... by a two step process: Alcohol is first converted to acetaldehyde by an enzyme called alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH). This enzyme consists of two subunits. The subunits are encoded at five different gene locations ... Indians, 0% (3). Next, acetaldehyde is broken down to acetic acid and water by an enzyme called acetaldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH 2). It has a high affinity for acetaldehyde and will ...

... ? h) In addition to being phosphorylated by hexokinase, glucose may also be phosphorylated by an enzyme called glucokinase. Glucokinase has a much higher KM for glucose than does hexokinase. Given that the ... complex G-HK = Glucose-hexokinase complex According to the Michaelis-Menten model of enzyme kinetics, the fraction of enzyme involved in ES complexes is: The problem asks for the ratio of [G ...

... ferredoxin, a somewhat mobile iron-sulfur protein. FNR is the enzyme ferredoxin-NADP oxidoreductase, which contains the active group, called FAD (flavin adenine dinucleotide). NADP+ is the oxidized form of ... of ATP, both essential for producing sugars from CO2. ATP is produced through an enzyme called ATP synthase, using ADP (adenosine diphosphate), inorganic phosphate (Pi) and energy from a proton ...

Tenderness of Meat
... tenderizing effect. The best known is papaya fruits, which contain a protein breaking down enzyme called 'papain'. Kiwi fruit have similar proteolytic enzymes, though not as effective. However, the meat ... which break down muscle fiber when meat is aged after death (the 'calpain proteolytic enzyme system'). Preliminary indications are that while tougher animals become more tender, animals that already ...
