thus regenerates the oxidized NAD required for further

Aim:
The purpose of this study is to extract and purify LDH
enzyme from chicken muscle using a variety of
techniques including centrifugation, selective protein
precipitation, dialysis and affinity chromatography. Dialysis for salt Removal

Methods:
Extraction of LDH enzyme from chicken muscle is
