Abstract excerpt
L-lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) catalyzes the interconversion of an oxoacid (pyruvate) and hydroxy-acid (lactate) using the NADH/NAD+ pair as a redox cofactor. The enzyme has a commercial significance, as it can be used to produce chiral building blocks for the synthesis of key pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. However, the substrate inhibition which is due to an abortive NAD+-pyruvate complex reducing the steady...
