Ethylene glycol is a major component of antifreeze. If ingested, it is first converted to HOOC-CHO oxoethanoic acid and then to HOOC-COOH oxalic acid, which is toxic added to a radiator to prevent freezing and boiling.
a. What class of enzyme catalyzes the reactions described?
b. The treatment for the ingestion of ethylene glycol is an intravenous solution of ethanol. How might this help prevent toxic levels of oxalic acid in the body?
