Description
[0001] (1) Technical field
[0002] The invention relates to a mutant derived from nitrilase of Acidovorax facilis CCTCC NO:M 209044 and its application in the synthesis of 1-cyanocyclohexylacetic acid, an intermediate of antiepileptic drugs.
[0003] (2) Background technology
[0004] Gabapentin is a new type of antiepileptic drug first developed by Warner-Lambert Company of the United States.
