Nitrile hydratases (NHases) are enzymes that catalyze the conversion of nitriles into corresponding amides, making them valuable in various industrial applications, particularly in the synthesis ...

"Dinitriles, like malononitrile, have been recognised as precursors in the prebiotic synthesis of purines and ... molecules are those that contain the nitrile group, which is made up of triple ...

The reactions look a little different with nitriles but the end products—the basic units of biology—are indistinguishable whether formed through acid or nitrile chemistry." While the paper ...
