We present a model that explains two phenomena, recently observed in high-mobility Si-MOS structures: (1) the strong enhancement of metallic conduction at low temperatures, T<2 K, and (2) the occurrence of a metal-insulator transition in the 2D electron system. Both effects are ascribed to the spin-orbit interaction anomalously enhanced by the broken inversion symmetry of the confining potential well.
