Structural highlights

Function

HNL_ARATH Involved in cyanogenesis, the release of HCN from injured tissues (By similarity). Displays R-selective hydroxynitrile lyase activity. Also accepts nitromethane (MeNO2) as a donor in a reaction with aromatic aldehydes to yield (R)-beta-nitro alcohols.^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}
