* Your answer is incorrect.
Kinetic versus thermodynamic. The reaction of NADH with oxygen to
produce NAD+NAD* and H2OH2O is very exergonic, yet the
reaction of NADH and oxygen takes place very slowly. Why does a
thermodynamically favorable reaction not occur rapidly?
Cholesterol-lowering drugs commonly target
O HMG-COA synthase, the enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of mevalonate
O pyruvate decarboxylase complex, which catalyzes the synthesis of acetyl-CoA
O mevalonate, an isoprene
O HMG-COAreductase, the rate-limiting enzyme in cholesterol biosynthesis
O HMG-CoA synthase, the enzyme that catalyzes the first step in cholesterol biosynthesis
