Name: The enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) carries out the conversion of alcohol to acetaldehyde, as introduced at the beginning of chapter 6: 3) NAD NADH NAD NADH ALDH CH3CH2OH + CH3CHO + CH3COOH Ethanol Acetic acid if you accidently ingest methanol (CH,OH) instead of ethanol, the enzyme ADH produces toxic FORMALDEHYDE, which is in turn converted by the next enzyme in the pathway, aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), into FORMIC ACID. Formic acid is especiallytoxic and strongly affects the optic nerve, so methanol poisoning can cause blindness. The treatment for methanol is, perhaps surprisingly. to give the patient ethanol (regular grain alcohol). The ethanol inhibits the ADH reaction that is converting the methanol to formaldehyde and formic acid Al In this case, does ethanol act as a competitive or noncompetitive inhibitor of ADH? Justify your answer- explain! 3) Also explain why this works to stop the toxic effects of the methanol poisoning Focus
