Enzymes are widely applied in the field of chemical organic synthesis. Nitrile hydratase (EC 4.2.1.*4) is an enzyme that converts nitrile groups to the corresponding amides by addition of a water molecule. Commercial Applications: A Rhodococcus rhodochrous nitrile hydratase activity is used to produce nicotinamide *-cyanopyridine with ~**0% yield, and a volumetric yield of ***5 g/L. It is also used to produce acrylamide (propeneamide). To manufacture *5, **0 tons annually in this manner can yield >*9.9% and a productivity of >**0 g/L/h, the product concentration can reach ******0 g/L as it is insoluble and precipitates out of solution.
