Description

2-Butanol is a colorless liquid that has inhibitory properties against the enzyme activities of hydroxylase, acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, and alpha-ketoglutarate decarboxylase. 2-Butanol is used as an active antiretroviral therapy for HIV patients. It also acts as a solid catalyst in the hydrogenation of carboxylic acids. The reactivity of 2-butanol is due to its ability to form stable complexes with enzymes by hydrogen bonding interactions. This chemical can be used in kinetic studies and analytical methods, such as gas chromatography and mass spectrometry, which are used to identify the structure of the enzyme complex and analyze the reaction mechanism.
