General description
Nitrilase belongs to the C-N hydrolase superfamily. It possesses the catalytic triad motifs: glutamate, lysine, and cysteine and are distributed in fungi, plants, and animals.The isoelectric point (pI) of this protein is 8.1. Native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE).
Application
Nitrilase may be used for immobilization on acryloyl crosslinked cellulose dialdehyde (ACCD) for catalytic activity studies.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Nitrilases catalyze the liberation of ammonia and the formation of carboxylic acid from the nitriles. The oligomeric structural organization of nitrilase is crucial for its functionality. It displays broad substrate specificity.
Packaging
Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.
Unit Definition
1 U corresponds to the amount of enzyme which liberates 1 μmol ammonia per minute at pH 7.2 and 25°C with the conversion of acrylonitrile to acrylic acid

Plants have evolved a variety of mechanisms for dealing with insect herbivory among which chemical defense through secondary metabolites plays a prominent role. Physiological, behavioural and sensorical adaptations to these chemicals provide herbivores with selective advantages allowing them to diversify

(R)-o-Chloromandelic acid is the key precursor for the synthesis of Clopidogrel®, a best-selling cardiovascular drug. Although nitrilases are often used as an efficient tool in the production of α-hydroxy acids, there is no practical nitrilase specifically developed for (R)-o-chloromandelic acid.

The nitrilase superfamily is a large and diverse superfamily of enzymes that catalyse the cleavage of various types of carbon-nitrogen bonds using a Cys-Glu-Lys catalytic triad. Thermoactive nitrilase from Pyrococcus abyssi (PaNit) hydrolyses small aliphatic nitriles like fumaro- and malononitryl.
