EC Number Substrates Comment Substrates Organism Products Comment (Products) Rev. Reac.
3.5.5.5 (R,S)-2-phenylpropionitrile + 2 H2O the enzyme exhibits a low degree of enantioselectivity toward this substrate (e.e. 35% for the (R)-acid at 35% conversion) Neurospora crassa 2-phenylpropionic acid + NH3

3.5.5.5 (R,S)-mandelonitrile + 3 H2O the end product of (R,S)-mandelonitrile transformation at pH 5.0 consists of 40% mandelamide (relative to the total amount of products formed). It is observed that the production of mandelamide is delayed compared to the production of mandelic acid Neurospora crassa mandelic acid + mandelamide + NH3

 ?
3.5.5.5 (R,S)-mandelonitrile + 3 H2O the enzyme produces almost no mandelamide at pH 5 (Fig. 1a), while the R-acid is formed with a high enantiomeric excess Aspergillus niger mandelic acid + mandelamide + NH3
