Cyanides are fast-acting poisons, can be lethal if exposed in excess. In spite of fact,
cyanides are discharged as effluents in large scale from industries every year. Certain …

Nitrile hydratase (NHase, EC 4.2. 1.84) is one of the key enzymes of nitrile metabolism in a
large number of microbes that catalyses the hydration of nitriles to corresponding amides …

A number of nitrile-related enzymes have been screened over the past year for use in
synthetic applications. There have also been significant advances in our understanding of …

The use of nitrile hydratases (RCN+ H2O→ RCONH2) and nitrilases (RCN+ 2 H2O→ RCOO-
+ NH4+) in biocatalysis attracts profound attention from the beginning of 1980s since it …

When one adult meets another at a party, they often get to know each other by asking the
question,“What do you do?” Translated, this question asks how you earn a living. When a …

Amidases are ubiquitous enzymes and biological functions of these enzymes vary widely. In
past five decades, they turned out to be an attractive tool in industries for the synthesis of …

The regions and types suitable mutations for bridging salt-bridges to intensify enzyme
stability are identified in this study. Using nitrile hydratase (NHase) as the model enzyme …
