Future research in LDH catalysis is focused on understanding the detailed mechanisms of its action, developing specific inhibitors for therapeutic use, and exploring its role in various physiological and pathological processes. Advances in structural biology, such as X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy, are providing deeper insights into the enzyme's structure-function relationships. Additionally, the development of novel assays and biosensors for LDH activity can enhance its diagnostic and therapeutic applications.
