Lactate dehydrogenase

A dehydrogenase is an enzyme that transfers a hydride from one molecule to another. Lactate dehydrogenase catalyzes the conversion of pyruvate to lactate and back, as it converts NADH to NAD⁺ and back.

Chemical reactions

$NADH + PYR \rightleftharpoons Lactate_{in} + NAD^+$

Rate equation

RAndom Bi-Bi reversible Michaelis-Menten equation is used.

$\frac{V_{mf}\frac{[NADH][PYR]}{Km_{NADH} K_{PYR}} - V_{mr}\frac{[Lactate_{in}][NAD]}{Km_{Lactate_{in}} K_{NAD}}}{1 + \frac{[NADH]}{Km_{NADH}} + \frac{[PYR]}{Km_{PYR}} + \frac{[NADH][PYR]}{Km_{NADH} Km_{PYR}} + \frac{[Lactate_{in}][NAD]}{Km_{Lactate_{in}} Km_{NAD}} + \frac{[Lactate_{in}]}{Km_{Lactate_{in}}} + \frac{[PYR]}{Km_{PYR}} }$

Parameters with uncertainty

• Mean and Std. Dev. for $V_{mf}$ has been reported in Table S3 for Marín-Hernández (2011) et. al. . The Std. Dev. for $V_{mr}$ is calculated based on the same ratio for $V_{mf}$.

• Reported values of $Km_{PYR}$ are 0.03 , 0.398
