Mandelate racemase (MR) catalyzes the 1,1-proton transfer that interconverts the enantiomers of mandelate. The transition state/intermediate analogues N-hydroxyformanilide (K(i)=2.79+/-0.19 microM) and cupferron (K(i)=2.67+/-0.09 microM) are identified as potent competitive inhibitors of MR. The pH-pK(i) profile indicates that MR can bind
