In enzymology, a mandelamide amidase (EC 3.5.1.86) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- (R)-mandelamide + H2O [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] (R)-mandelate + NH3
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are (R)-mandelamide and H2O, whereas its two products are (R)-mandelate and NH3.
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, those acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds other than peptide bonds, specifically in linear amides. The systematic name of this enzyme class is mandelamide hydrolase. This enzyme is also called Pseudomonas mandelamide hydrolase.
