Insight into enzymatic nitrile reduction : QM/MM study of the catalytic mechanism of QueF nitrile reductase

The NADPH-dependent QueF nitrile reductases catalyze the unprecedented four-electron reduction of nitrile to amine. QueF nitrile reductases can be found in the tRNA biosynthetic pathway of many bacteria and are potential antimicrobial drug targets. QueF enzymes have also attracted great attention as...
