Lactate dehydrogenase degradation

Enzymes in the cross-linked crystal form are essentially impervious to degradation by exogenous proteases and from autolysis, in the case of CLCs of proteases themselves [5], This stability makes the enzyme-catalyzed preparation of peptides and peptide mimics truly practical [6], Examples will be discussed in more detail in Sec. IV. Further, one could conceive of using multiple enzymes in one-pot reaction systems mimicking natural biosynthetic cascades. Indeed, the application of this concept has been reported for a mixture of lipoamide dehydrogenase and lactate dehydrogenase [19],...

Equation (Rs) corresponds to the biomass formation from lactate, where a glucose inhibition term is included in the equation. Equation (R ) describes the formation of lactate dehydrogenase from active component in the cell material (X ). An acrylic acid inhibition term was added in this equation. Equation (Rt) shows the degradation rate of the active compartment and depends of the glucose and acrylic acid present in the medium. These reaction rates and the kinetic parameters values were obtained from Lei et al. [4] and modified to describe the acrylic acid production process. 

Another consequence of the very high NADH/NAD ratio is that the balance in the lactate dehydrogenase reaction is shifted toward lactate, resulting in a lacticacido-sis (see Fig. 25.6, circle 6). The elevation of blood lactate may decrease excretion of nric acid (see Fig. 25.6, circle 7) by the kidney. Consequently patients with gout (which results from precipitated uric acid crystals in the joints) are advised not to drink excessive amounts of ethanol. Increased degradation of purines also may contribnte to hyperuricemia. 

This may be identified from its richness in fibrin degradation products, which may be detected using a hemagglutination inhibition method. It is also possible to identify menstrual blood by an analysis for lactate dehydrogenase. This enzyme shows little phenotypic variation between individuals but shows tissue differences that permit the recognition of menstrual blood. 

The integrity of cell membrane has also to be considered. In that case, another colored assay is performed in the presence of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). The reaction will occur only if the enzyme is released in the media, implying a leaking of the cell components, thus indicating a degradation of the membrane structure. No effect was detected in the presence of the various Ln helicates complexes. The nontoxicity of the complexes is then proved.
