Textbook Question
Chapter 19.1, Problem 19.2P
The enzyme LDH converts lactate to pyruvate. In mammals, this enzyme accepts only L-lactate as substrate, but the correct substrate in invertebrates such as oysters is D-lactate. Explain why LDH has two different forms, each accepting one of the enantiomers of the substrate, lactate, but not the other.

- 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-CoA reductase (HMG-CoA reductase) is a very long name for the enzyme that is involved in the production of cholesterol in the human liver. The enzyme catalyzes a reaction in which electrons are exchanged between reactants to form products. This an example of which of the following chemical reactions that are involved in maintaining homeostasis? HMG-CoA reductase catalyzes a catabolic reaction because electrons are exchanged between the reactants to form products. HMG-CoA reductase catalyzes a specific type of exchange reaction called an oxidation-reduction reaction in which electrons are exchanged between reactants to form products. HMG-CoA reductase catalyzes an anabolic reaction because electrons are exchanged between the reactants to form products.
