The reaction studied here converts ethanol to acetaldehyde, which is further converted to acetate that can be used to make other biomolecules easily utilized by cells. Imagine that methanol was used instead of ethanol - what is the reaction mechanism of methanol oxidation with NAD+? (Yes, draw it; curved arrows and all!) What product is formed? How does this relate to methanol poisoning? 3. This enzyme reaction (and many others) is stereospecific. Define stereospecific and describe an experiment that could prove that the ADH-catalyzed oxidation of ethanol to acetaldehyde is stereospecific.
