0 a type of alcohol used in industry and in products used at home, for example as a solvent (= substance that dissolves paint, glue, etc.) --
The hydrogen-donor (transfer agent) is typically isopropanol, which converts to acetone upon donation of hydrogen.
The neurotoxic potential of both acetone and isopropanol, the metabolic precursor of acetone, have been extensively studied.
To test the model we performed a number of experiments with a particular solution of water and isopropanol, which offered few complications and for which reliablc thermodynamic data were available.
This was done by a sequential incubation of 2 5 % isopropanol/10% acetic acid (v/v), 10% isopropanol/10% acetic acid (v/v) and 10% acetic acid (v/v).
Samples were extracted with an organic solvent (isopropanol/hexane/water mixture for soils, hexane for waters), the organic phase concentrated and (for soil extracts) semi-purified by liquid chromatography.
However, the concentrations of isopropanol required for fractionation of nucleic acids varied depending on the plant materials.
Immediately before use this was diluted with water to 60% isopropanol solution and filtered.
The parameter values used to calculate the evolution of the isopropanol experiments.
