'''Mandelate rasemase''' (MAR) catalyzes the interconversion of enantiomers of mandelate (S to R). MAR is Mg-dependent. MAR can racemize other alpha-hydroxy carbonyl compounds. MAR is involved in aromatic acids catabolism<ref>PMID:1892833</ref>. | '''Mandelate rasemase''' (MAR) catalyzes the interconversion of enantiomers of mandelate (S to R). MAR is Mg-dependent.
