Which among the following protein is having Rossmann fold?

A
Lactate dehydrogenase
B
Collagen
C
Insulin
D
Glucagon
High-Yield Explanation
Lactate dehydrogenase is comprised of two domains, an N-terminal NAD+-binding domain and a C-terminal binding domain for the second substrate, pyruvate. Lactate dehydrogenase is one of the family of oxidoreductases that share a common N-terminal NAD(P)+-binding domain known as the Rossmann fold. By fusing the Rossmann fold domain to a variety of C-terminal domains, a large family of oxidoreductases have evolved that utilize NAD(P)+/NAD(P)H for the oxidation and reduction of a wide range of metabolites.
