Enzymatic hydrolysis of nitriles by an engineered nitrile hydratase (papain Gln19Glu) in aqueous-organic media.

Biotechnol. Bioeng. 79(1) , 9-14, (2002)

A mutant of the cysteine protease papain, displaying nitrile hydratase and amidase activities, was expressed in Pichia pastoris and used for the hydrolysis of peptide nitriles in aqueous-organic media. The rate of hydrolysis of these nitriles is lowered by in...
