@ruouttaurmind Methylhydrogen would be an awkward name for methane. I think. Are you maybe googling a siloxane or something? Plus methane has a molecular weight of 16.

From what I can find, it’s likely it is microsomal epoxide hydrolase: Wikipedia
"This class of enzymes plays a role in the uptake of bile salts within the large intestine. It functions as a Na+ dependent transporter."
@sammydog01 I agree. Especially with my own stuff that I’m not sharing with others. But I did get proper labeling techniques drilled into my by my general/organic chemistry professor who had worked at (I think) Colgate. So I try to be clear when I’m working in shared labs.
Holy mole-y! 13.72 to be exact-ish!
@meverett I see what you did there.
@meverett I don’t know what’s in there but I’m pretty sure it’s not methane.
@sammydog01 If I remember my chem properly, it’s Methylhydrogen (MeH). A quick googly suggests it’s used in hydrophobic coatings (water repellents).

@sammydog01 @meverett is mostly right, with a little rounding error.

@sammydog01
Did someone mention methane?
@sammydog01 I guess it’s a good thing I play with tig welders and torque wrenches in my spare time, not beakers and bunsen burners, innit.
@ruouttaurmind but as I understand it you are right. It’s all in how you attach the fourth hydrogen.
Methane is CH4
MeH is (CH3)H
Methane isn’t going to sit happily as a liquid at room temp.

Ok that’s what I wanted.
@djslack There is only one way to put one carbon and four hydrogens together- methane. And it’s a gas at room temperature.
@sammydog01 I’m just a goat who’s bad at Google and worse at remembering chemistry. I’ll be quiet now.
@djslack
Shhh.
MIT. She got brainZ.
@f00l
MIT? Pffft.
@mflassy
Pfff All you wanna.
Don’t make no difference at all.
@f00l
@meverett Right? We got some brainz up in this hizzy (not including moi).
@sammydog01, Methanol maybe? Liquid, stable to about 150*? Probably not, that would be labeled MeOH.

@thejackalope I expect you are correct. Biologists are crappy labelers.

@thejackalope I ate some Mexican food for lunch yesterday and I’m pretty sure that’s what it was doing to my intestines last night…
@ruouttaurmind
I’m trying to muster up some sympathy but I can’t.
Damn chem geeks. (Wish I remembered more of it.)
