title: The rate constants of the reaction of hydroxyl radicals (*OH) with alcohol dehydrogenase and Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase.
abstract: The rate constants of the reactions of alcohol dehydrogenase and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase with hydroxyl radicals were determined using the method of steady-state competitive reactions. Ethanol was used as a scavenger of hydroxyl radicals. The rate constants of the reactions of hydroxyl radicals with alcohol dehydrogenase and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase were found to be 2.8 x 10(12) dm(3) mol(-1) s(-1), and 1.6 x 10(12) dm(3) mol(-1) s(-1), respectively.
