The structure, function and engineering of a thermostable nitrile hydratase.

<p>Nitrile hydratases (NHases) are enzymes that catalyse the conversion of organocyanides to amides via a non-hydrolytic hydration reaction. They are industrially relevant enzymes, currently used in the manufacture of nicotinamide and acrylamide. The target of this study belongs to the thermophilic bacteria Geobacillus pallidus.</p>
