Vicianin beta-glucosidase

The enzyme vicianin β-glucosidase catalyzes the following chemical reaction:


 * (R)-vicianin + H2O $$\rightleftharpoons$$ mandelonitrile + vicianose

It belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those glycosidases that hydrolyse O- and S-glycosyl compounds. The systematic name is (R)-vicianin β- D -glucohydrolase. It is also called vicianin hydrolase.
