DE   (R)-mandelonitrile oxidase.
CA   (R)-mandelonitrile + O2 = benzoyl cyanide + H2O2.
CC   -!- The enzyme, characterized from the millipede Chamberlinius
CC       hualienensis, is segregated from its substrate, which is contained in
CC       special sacs.
CC   -!- The sacs are ruptured during defensive behavior, allowing the enzyme
CC       and substrate to mix in special reaction chambers leading to
CC       production of the defensive chemical benzoyl cyanide.
