2-nitroimidazole nitrohydrolase

2-nitroimidazole nitrohydrolase (EC 3.5.99.9, NnhA, 2NI nitrohydrolase, 2NI denitrase) is an enzyme with systematic name 2-nitroimidazole nitrohydrolase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

2-nitroimidazole + H₂O

\rightleftharpoons

imidazol-2-one + nitrite

This enzyme is present in the soil bacterium Mycobacterium sp. JS330
