Cross-linking of the essential cysteine-165 of pig heart lactate dehydrogenase (L-lactate: NAD+ oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1.27) with lysine-179 was achieved by stepwise reaction with N-(4-azidocarbonyl-3-hydroxy-phenyl)-maleimide. These two residues are connected by kind of a hydrophobic channel which suggests that the essential cysteine is not modified via the active center as previously assumed.
