Problem:
In the mitochondira there is an R lactate dehydrogenase that unlike the cytoplasmic enzyme uses cytochrmoe c as an oxidizing agen and D lactate as a substrate. The prduct, pyruvate is the same for both enzymes. Given that the reduction portential of cytochrmoe c is 0.235 v at ph 7.
cyto-c[Fe+3] +e-= cyto-c[Fe+2].... and the reduction potential of pyruvate to F lactate is identical to that of L-Lactate.
Required:
Question: What is balaneced equation for the mitochondrial LDH reaction.
So could someone explain this to me?
