Mandelate racemase

Revision as of 10:51, 1 December 2014 by Michal Harel (talk | contribs)


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.
