propionic acid chloride enzymatic conversion

The University of Tokyo, Kawasaki and other studies of the use of purified potassium lactate dehalogenase and DL-2-halo acid dehalogenase were acting on the substrate L-2-chloro-propionic acid and DL- 2 - chloro acid, L-lactic acid obtained bittern off or D-lactic acid. L-2-halo acid dehalogenase catalyzed L-2-chloropropionic acid, and zinc lactate dehalogenase catalyzed both L-2-chloropropionic acid, but also the catalytic L-2-chloropropyl generate the corresponding optically active acid, catalytic conversion simultaneous configuration.
