Abstract
In the active site of lactate dehydrogenase important roles are given to aminoacids His195 and Arg171. The coenzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is required in oxidized form (NAD^+^) for the enzymatic oxidation of the substrate L‐lactate. Molecular orbital methods CNDO/2, INDO, and EHT were applied to the study of the model of active center of lactate dehydrogenase. An energetically preferred arrangement of the models of His195, Arg171, NAD^+^, and lactate was found. Possible biochemical aspects of these arrangements are discussed.

Metabolic acidosis severely complicates methanol and ethylene glycol intoxications. Acidosis is caused by acid metabolites and can be intensified by lactate elevation. Lactate concentration depends on the NADH 2 /NAD ratio. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH, E.C.1.1.1.27.) supplies more lactate when the le
