Information for questions 27-30 (12 points) The diagram above is of the active site of lactate dehydrogenase. This enzyme reduces the ketone in pyruvate (2-oxo-propanoate) to an alcohol in lactate. Pyruvate is shown bound to the active site of the enzyme. Image Description Lactate dehydrogenase interaction diagram showing the enzyme binding to pyruvate and NADH. The image details amino acid residues such as Arg109, Gln102, Thr246, His195, Arg171, and Asp168, involved in the binding process. Pyruvate is positioned centrally, with NADH on the right. Key interactions are depicted, illustrating the molecular structure and connections within the enzyme’s active site.
