The Active Site Sulfenic Acid Ligand in Nitrile Hydratases Can Function as a Nucleophile

[Image: see text] Nitrile hydratase (NHase) catalyzes the hydration of nitriles to their corresponding commercially valuable amides at ambient temperatures and physiological pH. Several reaction mechanisms have been proposed for NHase enzymes; however, the source of the nucleophile remains a mystery...
