Analyses of enzymes found in the blood are used as indicators that tissue damage (heart, liver, muscle) has occurred and resulte
d in the leakage of cellular enzymes into the bloodstream. One of the common enzymes measured for this purpose is the one that interconverts lactate and pyruvate. Identify the name of this enzyme.
LDH is tetrameric enzyme found in the muscles (M-type) and the heart (H-type) of living cells, responsible for the conversion of pyruvate to lactate and back, to promote generation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD).
They help bring about chemical reactions. This is because enzymes act as catalysts, lowering the activation energy required for a chemical reaction to initiate. It is in this way that they bring about chemical reactions.
The reaction equation given is already balanced. So the ratio of the reactants and products is the same as the ratio of coefficients. Then the answer is 4 moles.
