24. Exploring and Engineering Lactate Dehydrogenase Examining the structure of an enzyme can lead to hypotheses about the relationship between different amino acids in the protein's structure and the protein's function. One way to test these hypotheses is to use recombinant DNA technology to generate mutant versions of the enzyme and then examine the structure and function of these altered forms. The technology used to do this is described in Chapters 8 and 9 .One example of this kind of analysi

SOLVED: The lactate dehydrogenase gene codes for the enzyme that converts pyruvate to lactic acid. If cells in a lab culture are unable to undergo fermentation because of a mutation that blocks the activity of the lactate dehydrogenase gene, and those cells are placed in anoxic conditions, which treatment should allow the cells to survive without oxygen?- adding more glucose to the culture medium- microinjection of the cells with NADH- microinjection of the cells with acetyl-CoA- microinjection
