Biochemical characterization of two Brassica oleracea nitrile-specifier proteins [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceBrassica oleracea vegetables (e. g. cabbages) form bioactive isothiocyanates (ITCs) from glucosinolate (GLS) hydrolysis. However, enzymatic activity, acidic pH (below pH 5), and ferrous ions (Fe2+) can promote nitrile release, reducing the ITC amount. In

A high-throughput screening method for determining the substrate scope of nitrilases [PDF]
, 2014 Nitrile compounds are intermediates in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals such as atorvastatin. We have developed a chromogenic reagent to screen for nitrilase activity as an alternative to Nessler's reagent. It produces a semi-quantifiable blue colour and

Comparison of C═C bond hydrogenation in C-4 unsaturated nitriles over Pt/alumina [PDF]
, 2016 The hydrogenation of allyl cyanide (but-1-ene-4-nitrile, AC), trans- and cis-crotononitrile (E- and Z-but-2-ene nitrile, TCN and CCN), and methacrylonitrile (2-cyano-1-propene, MCN) were studied, both singly and competitively, over a Pt/alumina catalyst ...

Vacuum ultraviolet photoabsorption spectra of nitrile ices for their identification on Pluto [PDF]
, 2016 Icy bodies, such as Pluto, are known to harbor simple and complex molecules. The recent New Horizons flyby of Pluto has revealed a complex surface composed of bright and dark ice surfaces, indicating a rich chemistry based on nitrogen (N2), methane (CH4),

Nitrile hydratase genes are present in multiple eukaryotic supergroups. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Nitrile hydratases are enzymes involved in the conversion of nitrile-containing compounds into ammonia and organic acids. Although they are widespread in prokaryotes, nitrile hydratases have only been reported in two eukaryotes: the choanoflagellate ...

Nitrile-assistant eutectic electrolytes for cryogenic operation of lithium ion batteries at fast charges and discharges [PDF]
, 2014 The charge/discharge characteristics of lithium ion batteries at low temperature (LT = -20 ??C) are enhanced by using ethylene carbonate (EC)-based electrolytes with the help of assistant solvents of nitriles. Conventional liquid electrolytes (e.g.
