| Comments | Hydroxynitrile lyases catalyses the the cleavage of hydroxynitriles into cyanide and the corresponding aldehyde or ketone. In nature the liberation of cyanide serves as a defense mechanism against herbivores and microbial attack in plants. In vitro the enzymes from?Manihot esculenta?and?Hevea brasiliensis?accept a broad range of aliphatic and aromatic carbonyl compounds as substrates and catalyse the formation of (S)-hydroxynitriles [1,10]. |
| Cofactor | |
| History | |
| Reactions | (1) An aliphatic (S)-hydroxynitrile = cyanide + an aliphatic aldehyde or ketone. (2) An aromatic (S)-hydroxynitrile = cyanide + an aromatic aldehyde. |
