Thiocyanate isomerase

In enzymology, a thiocyanate isomerase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction


 * benzyl isothiocyanate $$\rightleftharpoons$$ benzyl thiocyanate

Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, benzyl isothiocyanate, and one product, benzyl thiocyanate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of isomerases, specifically those other isomerases sole sub-subclass for isomerases that do not belong in the other subclasses. The systematic name of this enzyme class is benzyl-thiocyanate isomerase. This enzyme is also called isothiocyanate isomerase.
