EC 4.1.2.11     
Accepted name: hydroxymandelonitrile lyase
Reaction: (S)-4-hydroxymandelonitrile = cyanide + 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde
Other name(s): hydroxynitrile lyase; oxynitrilase; Sorghum hydroxynitrile lyase; (S)-4-hydroxymandelonitrile hydroxybenzaldehyde-lyase
Systematic name: (S)-4-hydroxymandelonitrile 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde-lyase (cyanide-forming)
Comments: Does not accept aliphatic hydroxynitriles, unlike EC 4.1.2.10 (mandelonitrile lyase), EC 4.1.2.46 [aliphatic (R)-hydroxynitrile lyase] and EC 4.1.2.47 [(S)-hydroxynitrile ketone-lyase (cyanide forming)].
