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.

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).

Other Notes

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

Packaging

Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.

A new versatile acrylonitrile-bioconverting strain isolated from a petroleum-contaminated sludge sample and identified as Rhodococcus ruber AKSH-84 was used for optimization of medium and biotransformation conditions for nitrilase activity to produce acrylic acid. A simple and rapid HPLC protocol was

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.
