Recent Advances and Promises in Nitrile Hydratase: From Mechanism to Industrial Applications

Nitrile hydratase (NHase, EC 4.2.1.84) is one type of metalloenzyme participating in the biotransformation of nitriles into amides. Given its catalytic specificity in amide production and eco-friendliness, NHase has overwhelmed its chemical counterpart during the past few decades. However, unclear c...
