Abstract excerpt
5-Cyanovaleramide (5-CVAM) is a monocyanoamide intermediate used for synthesizing herbicides and fine chemicals. Compared to chemical catalysis, nitrile hydratase (NHase, EC 4.2.1.84) is a green catalyst for the conversion of nitrile to amide. In our previous work, we heterologously expressed the NHase gene from Rhodococcus erythropolis CCM2595 (ReNHase) in Escherichia coli (E.coli) by optimizing the ribosomal...
