Mutations in an enzyme which oxidizes this substrate are the basis of the McDonald-Kreitman test.
Mutations in an enzyme which oxidizes this substrate are the basis of the McDonald-Kreitman test. A Cys-46, Cys-174, His-67, and a critical zinc ion surround it in the active site of a protein which oxidizes this compound. This compound precipitates DNA from aqueous solution. Biosynthesis of this compound and carbon dioxide increase in the absence of oxygen according to the Pasteur effect. Like (*) lactate, synthesis of this compound regenerates NAD in the cytosol. A 70% solution of this compound is used in molecular biology labs to kill microbes. The oxidation of this compound into acetaldehyde is often faster in Han Chinese and Korean populations, causing the "Asian glow" phenomenon. For 10 points, name this compound, which yeast form in fermentation.
