Abstract

Quantum chemistry calculations have been used alongside experimental kinetic analysis to investigate the competition between S_N2 and E2 mechanisms for the dechlorination of hexachlorocyclohexane isomers, revealing that enzyme specificity reflects the intrinsic reactivity of the various isomers.
