The inactivating ALDH2*2 mutation is "the most common single point mutation in humans". [14] This mutation is found in very few White people, but about 50% of East Asians are heterozygous for this mutation. The ALDH2*2 allele encodes lysine instead of glutamic acid at amino acid 487, [15] distorting the NAD+ binding site.
Aldehyde dehydrogenase is a polymorphic enzyme [3] responsible for the oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids. [3] There are three different classes of these enzymes in mammals: class 1 (low K m, cytosolic), class 2 (low K m, mitochondrial), and class 3 (high K m, such as those expressed in tumors, stomach, and cornea).
ALDH2, which has a lower K M for acetaldehydes than ALDH1 and acts predominantly in the mitochondrial matrix, is the main enzyme in acetaldehyde metabolism and has three genotypes. A single point mutation (G → A) at exon 12 of the ALDH2 gene causes a replacement of glutamate with lysine at residue 487, resulting in the ALDH2K enzyme. [8]
One such reaction is: AH 2 + O 2 ↔ A + H 2 O 2. Sometimes an oxidase reaction will look like this: 4A + 4H + + O 2 ↔ 4A + + 2H 2 O. In this case, the enzyme is taking electrons from the substrate, and using free protons to reduce the oxygen, leaving the substrate with a positive charge. The product is water, instead of hydrogen peroxide as ...

Water is the medium of the oceans, the medium which carries all the substances and elements involved in the marine biogeochemical cycles. Water as found in nature almost always includes dissolved substances, so water has been described as the "universal solvent" for its ability to dissolve so many substances.
