TABLE 1.
Enzyme | Vmax (U · mg−1) | Km (mmol · liter−1) |
---|---|---|
NHase | 30.82 ± 1.64 | 2.87 ± 0.31 |
IamA | 13.09 ± 1.05 | 0.52 ± 0.08 |
NitA | 23.67 ± 2.51 | 0.77 ± 0.12 |
The kinetic parameters of the nitrile-converting enzymes were estimated over a range of substrate concentrations (0.1 to 6 mmol · liter−1) at 37°C in 50 mmol · liter−1 phosphate buffer at pH 7.5. Data shown are mean values ± standard deviations from three replicates.
