in order to gain a better understanding of the metabolism of ethanol in orientals , the kinetic properties of human alcohol dehydrogenase ( adh ) isozymes containing the beta 2 ( oriental ) subunit , i.e. , alpha beta 2 , beta 2 gamma 1 , beta 2 beta 2 , beta 2 gamma 2 , as well as gamma 1 gamma 1 , were examined by using primary and secondary alcohol substrates of various chain lengths and compared with those of the corresponding beta 1 ( caucasian ) subunit containing isozymes already on record [ wagner , f. w. , burger , a. r. , & vallee , b. l. ( 1983 ) biochemistry 22 , 1857-1863 ] .
