| Front | Using the information in Fig. 2.1, explain why alcohol dehydrogenase is able to break down both ethanol and DEG Suggest why DEG-contaminated wines with a high ethanol content may result in less DEG poisoning than contaminated wines with a low ethanol content. |
|---|---|
| Back | - both contain -OH groups - similar shape so same active site - ethanol competes with DEG, if more ethanol, more likley to bind to active site, so less DEG broken down |
