Abstract:
The isotope effect on binding [4-2H]NAD+ and [4-3H]NAD+ to lactate dehydrogenase has been shown to be 1.10 +/- 0.03 by whole molecule isotope ratio mass spectrometry and 1.085 +/- 0.01 by 3H/14C scintillation counting. These values demonstrate that specific interactions of the nicotinamide ring with the enzyme make the C-H bond at C-4 less stiff in the binary complex.
