Nitrilase (nitrile aminohydrolase; EC 3.5.5.1) in an enzyme that catalyzes hydrolysis of nitriles to carboxilic acids and ammonia:  R-CN + 2 H2O → R-COO- + NH4+  One unit of nitrilase will yield 1.0 μmol of ammonia per minute under optimal reaction conditions using acrylonitrile as a substrate.

Superoxide dismutase coupled to polyethylene glycol. Superoxide dismutase (EC 1.15.1.1) is an enzyme that catalyzes the following reaction:  2 H+ + 2 O2− → O2 + H2O2  thus converting an extremely reactive and cytotoxic superoxide radical into oxygen and (significantly less reactive) hydrogen peroxide.

eXrase DNA endonuclease from enGenes is a recombinant endonuclease from Serratia marcescens produced in E. coli. Effectively and efficiently degrades all forms of DNA and RNA, reducing sample viscosity without proteolytic activity.

Mannitol dehydrogenase (MDH, mannitol 2-dehydrogenase, EC 1.1.1.67) is an enzyme that catalyzes the following reaction:  D-mannitol + NAD+ ⇌ D-fructose + NADH + H+  One unit of mannitol dehydrogenase will generate 1.0 μmole of D-fructose per min in the presence of NAD+ at pH 8.6 and 40°C. NAD+ is available here and NADH is available here, depending on whether you require the reaction to proceed from left to right or from righ to left, respectively.

Pyruvate kinase (from Rabbit muscle), ammonium sulfate suspension is an enzyme product, which is a purified protein extracted from the muscle tissue of rabbits. This enzyme plays a crucial role in glycolysis, specifically catalyzing the transphosphorylation of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) to pyruvate, generating ATP from ADP in the process. This step is a key regulatory point in the glycolytic pathway, which is essential for cellular energy production.
