In enzymology a (R)-2-haloacid dehalogenase (EC 3.8.1.9) DL-2-haloacid halidohydrolase (inversion of configuration) DL-DEXi (RS)-2-haloacid dehalogenase (configuration-inverting)) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction(R)-2-haloacid + H2O (S)-2-hydroxyacid + halideThus the two substrates of this enzyme are (R)-2-haloacid and H2O whereas its two products are (S)-2-hydroxyacid and halide.This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases specifically those acting on halide bonds in carbon-halide compounds.
