ENTRY       EC 3.5.5.7
NAME        Aliphatic nitrilase
CLASS       Hydrolases
            Acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds, other than peptide bonds
            In nitriles
REACTION    R-CN + H2O = R-COOH + NH3
SUBSTRATE   R-CN
            H2O
PRODUCT     R-COOH
            NH3
COMMENT     Preferentially hydrolyses aliphatic nitriles, some of which
            are apparently not substrates for other known nitrilases
            (EC 3.5.5.1).
            Substrates include: Crotonitrile, Acrylonitrile and Glyrato-
            nitrile.
