Kinetic studies of lactate dehydrogenase with oxalate and oxamate (structural analogues of lactate and pyruvate)have proven the mechanism stated above. The rate limiting step in this reaction is the rate of dissociation of NAD+ and NADH. The conversion of pyruvate to lactate with the subsequent regeneration of NAD+ is a very favorable(1). | Kinetic studies of lactate dehydrogenase with oxalate and oxamate (structural analogues of lactate and pyruvate)have proven the mechanism stated above.
