mass of about 59 kDa and consisted of two identical subunits. The enzyme stoichiometrically catalyzed the hydration of cyclohexyl isocyanide (an isonitrile) to N-cyclohexylformamide, but no formation of other compounds was detected. The apparent K(m) value for cyclohexyl isocyanide was 16.2 mm. Although the enzyme acted on various isonitriles, no nitriles or amides were accepted as substrates.
