  • Title: The synthesis of chiral cyanohydrins by oxynitrilases.
    Author: Griengl H, Schwab H, Fechter M.
    Journal: Trends Biotechnol; 2000 Jun; 18(6):252-6. PubMed ID: 10802560.
    Abstract:
    Enantiomerically pure cyanohydrins are important synthetic intermediates for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. They are produced by enzyme-catalysed synthesis using oxynitrilases. Sufficient quantities of enzyme are available via cheap natural sources and there have been recent advances in overexpression production of cyanohydrins on an industrial scale.
