Produktinformation

• Name: 2-Methyl-1-propanol
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: 2-Methyl-1-propanol is a small molecule that inhibits the activity of certain enzymes. It is an inhibitor of alcohol dehydrogenase, which converts ethanol to acetaldehyde. 2-Methyl-1-propanol also inhibits the enzyme pyruvate decarboxylase, which catalyzes the conversion of pyruvic acid to acetaldehyde. These two effects result in increased levels of acetaldehyde in the blood and reduced levels of acetate in the blood. The effect on alcohol dehydrogenase has been shown in recombinant cells and in yeast cells with a mutation that leads to decreased alcohol dehydrogenase activity. 2-Methyl-1-propanol has been shown to inhibit the growth of wild type strains but not mutant strains of Escherichia coli, suggesting that its physiological effects are due to inhibition of alcohol dehydrogenase and pyruvate decarboxylase activities.
