Abstract

The stereospecificity of ethanol oxidation via alcohol dehydrogenase, the microsomal ethanol oxidizing system (MEOS) and catalase was determined using stereospecific ethanol-1-3H. All systems showed the same stereospecificity towards ethanol. All pathways displayed an isotope effect, but the effect with MEOS and catalase was greater than with alcohol dehydrogenase.
