Reactions Catalyzed by Arabidopsis ESP Expressed in E. coli.

Glucosinolates with terminal alkene functions were converted to epithionitriles, and other glucosinolates were converted to simple nitriles. When comparing the nomenclature of glucosinolates with their corresponding nitriles, the numbering system must be adjusted because the nitrile carbon atom is counted as part of the alkyl chain.
