Proteolytic digestion studies, show that D-lactate dehydrogenase is protected from trypsindigestion to a larger extent when it interacts with phosphatidylglycerol than with phosphatidylcholine vesicles. Wild-type D-lactate dehydrogenase and mutants in which an additional tryptophan is substituted in selected areas by site-specific oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis havebeen labeled with 5-fluorotryptophan. 19F nuclear magnetic resonance studies of the interaction of these labeled enzymes with small unilamellar phospholipid vesicles show that Trp 243, 340, and 361 are exposed to the lipid phase, while Trp 384, 407, and 567 are accessible to the external aqueous phase. Reconstitution of enzymatic activity in phospholipid vesicles has been studied byadding enzyme and substrate to phospholipid vesicles containing a spin-labeled fatty acid as an electron acceptor. The reduction of the doxyl group of the spin-labeled fatty acid has been monitored indirectly by nuclear magnetic resonance and directly by electron paramagnetic resonance. These results indicate that an artificial electron-transfer system can be created by mixing D-lactate dehydrogenase and D-lactate togetherwith phospholipid vesicles containing spin-labeled fatty acids.D-Lactate dehydrogenase (d-LDH) 1 is a flavin-containing enzyme with a molecular weight of 65 000, located on the cytoplasmic side of the Escherichia coli membrane. It cata-lyzes the oxidation of D-lactate in an electron-transfer reaction that is coupled to the active transport of various amino acids and sugars into membrane vesicles prepared from E. coli (Barnes & Kaback, 1971; Futai, 1973; Kohn & Kaback, 1973). The activity of d-LDH is enhancedby a wide variety of lipids and detergents (Fung et al., 1979; Kovatchev et al.,
