Abstract excerpt
The enzymes trans-3-chloroacrylic acid dehalogenase (CaaD) and cis-3-chloroacrylic acid dehalogenase (cis-CaaD) represent the two major classes of bacterial, isomer-selective 3-chloroacrylic acid dehalogenases. They catalyze the hydrolytic dehalogenation of either trans- or cis-3-haloacrylates to yield malonate semialdehyde, presumably through unstable halohydrin intermediates. In view of a proposed general...
