3.8.1.9	(R)-2-haloacid + H2O = (S)-2-hydroxyacid + halide	Acts on acids of short chain lengths, C2 to C4, with inversion of configuration at C-2, see also EC 3.8.1.2 (S)-2-haloacid dehalogenase, EC 3.8.1.10 2-haloacid dehalogenase (configuration-inverting) and EC 3.8.1.11 2-haloacid dehalogenase (configuration-retaining)	-	
3.8.1.9	(R)-2-haloacid + H2O = (S)-2-hydroxyacid + halide	proposed reaction mechanism, conserved residue Arg134 plays a key role in the dehalogenation process. Residues Arg107, Arg134 and Tyr135 interact with the substrates and are the catalytic residues of DehD that are involved in the dehalogenation of D-2-chloropropionate and D-2-bromopropionate, while Glu20 activates the water molecule that attacks the carbon halogen bond on the alpha-carbon, thereby releasing chloride ion	733999	
3.8.1.9	(R)-2-haloacid + H2O = (S)-2-hydroxyacid + halide	the reaction mechanism of dehalogenation is catalysed by hydrolytic SN2-substitution reaction	733552
