Product Name aliphatic (R)-hydroxynitrile lyase
Example Structure Example Structure of aliphatic (R)-hydroxynitrile lyase EC#: 4.1.2.46
Synonyms (R)-HNL, (R)-hydroxynitrile lyase, (R)-Oxynitrilase, Acetone cyanohydrin lyase, Hydroxynitrile lyase, LuHNL
EC Number 4.1.2.46
CAS Registry Number
Comments The enzyme contains Zn2+?[1]. The enzyme catalyses the stereoselective synthesis of aliphatic (R)-cyanohydrins [1]. No activity towards mandelonitrile and 4-hydroxymandelonitrile [5]. Natural substrates for the (R)-oxynitrilase from?Linum usitatissimum?are acetone and butan-2-one, which are the building blocks of the cyanogen glycosides in?Linum, linamarin and lotaustralin, or linustatin and neolinustatin, respectively [4].
Cofactor Zn2+
History
Reactions (2R)-2-hydroxy-2-methylbutanenitrile = cyanide + butan-2-one.
