<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a (S)-hydroxynitrile lyase. <P>SOLUTION: The (S)-hydroxynitrile lyase and an enzyme composition having (S)-hydroxynitrile lyase activity are provided respectively, each of which is obtained by subjecting a suspension of a Baliospermum plant to ammonium sulfate fractionation followed by ion-exchange chromatography. Having the catalytic activity of producing a nitrile from the corresponding aldehyde by its catalytic action, the (S)-hydroxynitrile lyase or the enzyme composition is industrially useful. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI |
