ChromSoc nitrilase flow chemistry project 2

We have a range of nitrilases which we use as starting points for all our projects. Most of them are listed in this ChemComm. We've used them both as cell free extract and with many different types of immobilization. A good place to start we have found is in simple alginate beads which are easy to make, and give a consistent performance under our standard reaction conditions. Their synthesis using a powered syringe dropping into a stirred beaker has a somewhat hypnotic quality.
