Industrial production of acrylamide is now being developed using some of the enzymes of this class. Publication Abstract from PubMed The reaction mechanism of nitrile hydratase (NHase) was investigated using time-resolved crystallography of the mutant NHase, in which betaArg56, strictly conserved and hydrogen bonded to the two post-translationally oxidized cysteine ligands, was replaced by lysine, and pivalonitrile was the substrate. The crystal structures of the reaction intermediates were determined at high resolution (1.2-1.3 A). In combination with FTIR analyses of NHase following hydration in H2 (18) O, we propose that the metal-coordinated substrate is nucleophilically attacked by the O(SO(-) ) atom of alphaCys114-SO(-) , followed by nucleophilic attack of the S(SO(-) ) atom by a betaArg56-activated water molecule to release the product amide and regenerate alphaCys114-SO(-) .
