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).

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
