KROK 1 2012 – Question 3 · KROK (Medicine) · Biological Chemistry
During an operation a patient got injection of muscle relaxant dithylinum. Relaxation of skeletal muscles and inhibition of respiration lasted two hours. This condition was caused by absence of the following enzyme in blood serum:
- A. Glucose 6-phosphatase
- B. Butyrylcholinesterase
- C. Catalase
- D. Acetylcholinesterase
- E. Glutathione peroxidase
Hint
Consider which enzyme normally destroys this short-acting relaxant within minutes, and where in the body that enzyme does its work.
