Stereochemical investigations have shown that the conversion of 2-hydroxyethylphosphonate to hydroxymethylphosphonate by the enzyme HEPD involves removal of the pro-S hydrogen at C2 and, surprisingly, the loss of stereochemical information at C1. As a result, the mechanisms previously proposed for HEPD must be re-evaluated.
立体化学研究表明,酶 HEPD 将 2-羟乙基膦酸转化为羟甲基膦酸涉及 C2 上的 Pro-S 氢的去除,令人惊讶的是,C1 处的立体化学信息丢失。因此,先前提出的 HEPD 机制必须重新评估。
