L-lactate dehydrogenase: L-lactic acid:: Salivary α-amylase: __________

L-lactate dehydrogenase: L-lactic acid:: Salivary α-amylase: __________ Correct Answer α- 1,4 glycoside linkage

The type of specificity in which the enzymes is showing specificity towards only one type of isomers is referred to as stereo specificity. L-lactate dehydrogenase shows stereo specificity to L-lactic and not D-lactic acid. In the same way, salivary α-amylase acts on α- 1,4 glycoside linkage and is inactive on β-1,4 glycoside linkage.
