Organic Chemistry of Metabolic Pathways
Metabolic pathways allude to the arrangement of chemical catalyzed reactions that lead to the transformation of a substance into the final product. Metabolic pathways incorporate a progression of reaction where the substrate is changed continuously and t…
Glucogenesis
Glucogenesis is a metabolic pathway in which glucose is produced from carbon substrates that are not carbohydrates. This process is observed in plants, animals, fungi, bacteria and other micro organisms. The general  definition for glucogenesis or glucon…

Chapter 27, Problem 62P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

One of the enzymes need for the metabolism of ethanol uses a derivative of vitamin B1 as a cofactor. To explain it is not surprising that alcoholics develop beriberi, a disease caused by a vitamin B1 deficiency.

Concept introduction:

Vitamin B1 is a cofactor of Thymine pyrophosphate, which is required by the enzyme pyruvate decarboxylase.

Pyruvate decarboxylase is required in ethanol metabolism. It catalyzes the conversion of pyruvate to acetaldehyde. Acetaldehyde is catalysed by alcohol dehydrogenase to form ethanol.
