In enzymology a prunasin beta-glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.118) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction(R)-prunasin + H2O D-glucose + mandelonitrileThus the two substrates of this enzyme are (R)-prunasin and H2O whereas its two products are D-glucose and mandelonitrile.This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases specifically those glycosidases that hydrolyse O- and S-glycosyl compounds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is prunasin beta-D-glucohydrolase.
