S)-Hydroxynitrile lyase (EC 4.1.2.39) from Hevea brasiliensis (rubber tree) catalyzes the reversible cleavage of cyanohydrins to aldehydes or ketones and prussic acid (HCN). Enzyme kinetics in both directions was studied on a model system with mandelonitrile, benzaldehyde, and HCN using two differen

Suicide substrates are widely used in enzymology for studying enzyme mechanisms and designing potential drugs. The presence of a reversible modifier decreases or increases the rate of substrate-induced inactivation, with evident physiological and experimental consequences. To date, only the action o
## Abstract In proton nmr, the chemical exchange rates of slowly exchanging labile hydrogens (with lifetimes in the range βΌ 10 msec β βΌ 1 sec) of peptides, proteins, and nucleic acids can be measured in H~2~O by a combination of two separate experiments: (1) the transfer of solvent saturation and (
