Item Screening for subtate tolerant Geobacillus pallidus RAPc8 nitrile hydratase(University of the Western Cape, 2009) Mketsu, Moses Clive Masisange; Cowan, Don A.; Tuffin, Marla; van Zyl, Lonnie; Dept. of Biotechnology; Faculty of ScienceIn this study G. pallidus RAPc8 NHase mutants were screened for reduced substrate inhibition compared to the wild type enzyme. Wild type and mutant enzymes were expressed and purified using hydrophobic interaction chromatography. Amidase coupled enzyme stop assays were conducted using 3-cyanopyridine as a substrate, whereas continuous enzyme kinetics were conducted using acrylonitrile as a substrate.
