abstract：:4-Oxalocrotonate tautomerase (4-OT) and YwhB, a 4-OT homologue found in Bacillus subtilis, exhibit a low level hydratase activity that converts trans-3-haloacrylates to acetaldehyde, presumably through a malonate semialdehyde intermediate. The mechanism for the initial transformation of the 3-haloacrylate to malonate ...
