📊 Pathway Information
Description:
Mandelate racemase (MR) from Pseudomonas putida ATCC 12633 catalyzes the equilibration of the (R)-mandelate and (S)-mandelate ([http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8639525|Schafer et al., 1996]). In the mandelate pathway, (S)-mandelate dehydrogenase is specific for the (S) enantiomer, thus requiring the racemase to allow (R)-mandelate oxidation to benzoate.
