Notes:
In the active site of lactate dehydrogenase important roles are given to aminoacids His195 and Arg171. The coenzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is required in oxidized form (NAD+) for the enzymatic oxidation of the substrate L-lactate. Molecular orbital methods CNDO/2, INDO, and EHT were applied to the study of the model of active center of lactate dehydrogenase. An energetically preferred arrangement of the models of His195, Arg171, NAD+, and lactate was found. Possible biochemical aspects of these arrangements are discussed.
