In the food industry, the primary catalysis is coupled to conversion of NADH and H+ to NAD+ with diaphorase coupled with converting the non-fluorescent resazurin to the highly fluorescent substance resorufin to measure the content of D-lactate in food products.
Biochem/physiol Actions
D-lactic dehydrogenase catalyzes the conversion of pyruvate into D-lactate, with oxidation of NADH to NAD+. D-lactic dehydrogenase can also catalyze the reverse reaction, conversion of D-lactate into pyruvate with reduction of NAD+ to NADH.

Unit Definition
1 U corresponds to the amount of enzyme which will reduce 1 μmol of pyruvate to D-lactate per minute at pH 7.0 and 25 °C

Dye-linked D-lactate dehydrogenase activity was found in the crude extract of a continental thermoacidophilic crenarchaeota, Sulfolobus tokodaii strain 7, and was purified 375-fold through four sequential chromatography steps. With a molecular mass of about 93 kDa, this enzyme was a
D-Lactate negatively affects Arabidopsis thaliana seedling development in a concentration-dependent manner. At media D-lactate concentrations greater than 5-10mM the development of wild-type plants is arrested shortly after germination whereas plants overexpressing the endogenous D-lactate dehydrogenase (D-LDH) detoxify D-lactate to pyruvate
The crystal structure of D-lactate dehydrogenase from Aquifex aeolicus (aq_727) was determined to 2.12 A resolution in space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 90.94, b = 94.43, c = 188.85 A. The structure was solved by molecular replacement
Mammalian cytochrome P450scc (CYP11A1p) is a pseudointegral protein of the inner membrane of mitochondria with the active center exposed in the matrix. Upon import of the CYP11A1p precursor into yeast mitochondria, only a minor part was incorporated into the inner

The low-energy nitrogen ion beam implantation technique was used in the breeding of mutant D(-)-lactic-acid-producing strains. The wild strain Sporolactobacillus sp. DX12 was mutated by an N(+) ion beam with energy of 10keV and doses ranging from 0.4 x 10(15)
