Term Name: 2-haloacid dehalogenase (configuration-inverting) activity
Synonyms: 2-haloalkanoic acid dehalogenase activity, 2-haloalkanoid acid halidohydrolase activity, DL-2-haloacid dehalogenase (inversion of configuration) activity, DL-2-haloacid dehalogenase activity, DL-2-haloacid halidohydrolase (inversion of configuration) activity, DL-DEXi
Definition: Catalysis of the reactions: an (S)-2-haloacid + H2O = a (2R)-2-hydroxycarboxylate + a halide anion + H+, and an (R)-2-haloacid + H2O = a (2S)-2-hydroxycarboxylate + a halide anion + H+.
