Insights into the stereospecificity of the d-specific dehalogenase from Rhizobium sp. RC1 toward D-and L-2-chloropropionate

Halogenated compounds are recalcitrant environmental pollutants prevalent in agricultural fields, waste waters and industrial by-products, but they can be degraded by dehalogenase-containing microbes. Notably, 2-haloalkanoic acid dehalogenases are employed to resolve optically active chloropropionat...
