Discovery of a Reaction Intermediate of Aliphatic Aldoxime Dehydratase Involving Heme as an Active Center

Recently, we discovered an intriguing hemoprotein [aliphatic aldoxime dehydratase (OxdA)] that catalyzes the dehydration of aliphatic aldoximes [R-CH=N-OH] to the corresponding nitriles [R-C≡N] in the industrial Pseudomonas chlororaphis B23 strain. Unlike the utilization of H₂O₂ or O₂ as a mediator...
