Cyanide hydratases and cyanide dihydratases: emerging tools in the biodegradation and biodetection of cyanide

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2015
The purpose of this study is to summarize the current knowledge of the enzymes which are involved in the hydrolysis of cyanide, i.e., cyanide hydratases (CHTs; EC 4.2.1.66) and cyanide dihydratases (CynD; EC 3.5.5.1). CHTs are probably exclusively produced by filamentous fungi and widely occur in these organisms; in contrast, CynDs were only found in a

A caged cyanide

Photochemical & Photobiological Sciences, 2012
A photoactivatable caged cyanide, 1-(2-nitrophenyl)ethyl (NPE) cyanide, was synthesized, which upon irradiation in the near UV releases cyanide. It is demonstrated that the compound can be used to induce formation of the Fe(III)-CN(-) complex in the heme protein nitrophorin 4 from Rhodnius prolixus.
