A novel cytochrome P450, CYP3201B1, is involved in (R)‐mandelonitrile biosynthesis in a cyanogenic millipede

Specialized arthropods and more than 2500 plant species biosynthesize hydroxynitriles and release hydrogen cyanide as a defensive mechanism. The millipede Chamberlinius hualienensis accumulates (R)‐mandelonitrile as a cyanide precursor. Although biosynthesis of hydroxynitriles in cyanogenic plants a...
