Abstract:
Heme- and metal-independent chloroperoxidase from Serratia marcescens W 250 is shown to be capable of catalyzing the p-nitrophenyl phosphate hydrolysis. The parameters of the phosphatase reaction are determined and inhibitors and activators of the process are found. A hypothetical mechanism of the hydrolysis of phosphoesters by heme- and metal-independent haloperoxidases is suggested.

Acid Halides to Carboxylic Acids: Hydrolysis
As shown below, the mechanism involves a nucleophilic attack by water at the carbonyl carbon to form a tetrahedral intermediate. This is followed by the reformation of the carbon–oxygen π bond along with the departure of a halide ion. A final proton transfer step yields carboxylic acid...
