Reaction

Reaction Comment Organism Reaction ID
an aliphatic amide = a nitrile + H2O detailed reaction mechanism using large quantum-mechanical active site models, overview. The attack of Cys114-SO- on the coordinated nitrile forms a cyclic intermediate. Cys109-S-S-Cys114 disulfide formation promotes cleavage of the latter to give the amide. Active-site regeneration occurs through attack of water on the disulfide, putative cyclic intermediate structure, overview Rhodococcus erythropolis
