Keywords: Lactate dehydrogenase Recombinant proteins Trehalose Eznymes

Lactate dehydrogenase: The monomeric form of this enzyme has been isolated, which allows for the study of its assembly into the catalytically active tetrameric form. Furthermore, the availability of monomeric lactate dehydrogenase enables the study of molecules capable of inhibiting its oligomerization.

Trehalose: The effects of this peculiar disaccharide on the specificity of various enzymes are analyzed.R

Recombinant proteins: The production of recombinant proteins and enzymes is being studied, primarily using Escherichia coli as the host for their production.
