Rhodococcus rhodochrous

Application

Application Comment Organism
industry the enzyme is engineered for the commercial production of 3-hydroxyvaleric acid Acidovorax facilis
industry the high chemical specificity and frequent enantioselectivity of nitrilases makes them attractive biocatalysts for the production of fine chemicals and pharmaceutical intermediates. Nitrilases are also used in the treatment of toxic industrial effluent and cyanide remediation Rhodococcus rhodochrous

Protein Variants

Protein Variants Comment Organism
F168V/L201N the mutant shows increased activity and specificity compared to the wild type enzyme Acidovorax facilis
L201Q the mutant shows increased activity and specificity compared to the wild type enzyme Acidovorax facilis
T210G inactive Acidovorax facilis
