A thiocyanate hydrolase (EC 3.5.5.8) is an enzyme belonging to the family of hydrolases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is thiocyanate aminohydrolase. This enzyme catalyzes the chemical reaction:

SCN + 2 H2O + H+ ⇌ SCO + NH3

The mechanism is proposed to involve a metal thiocyanate complex.

Structural studies

As of late 2007, 4 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 2DD4, 2DD5, 2DXB, and 2DXC.

Hypothiocyanite is the anion [OSCN] and the conjugate base of hypothiocyanous acid (HOSCN). It is an organic compound part of the thiocyanates as it contains the functional group SCN. It is formed when an oxygen is singly bonded to the thiocyanate group. Hypothiocyanous acid is a fairly weak acid; its acid dissociation constant (pKa) is 5.3.

Carbonyl sulfide hydrolase (EC 3.13.1.7; abbreviated as COSase) is an enzyme that degrades carbonyl sulfide (COS) to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and carbon dioxide (CO2). Isolated from Thiobacillus thioparus bacterium, the potential of COSase would reduce the high global warming effect of COS and change the ozone chemistry, because COS is the source of sulfur in the troposphere.

Transition metal complexes of thiocyanate describes coordination complexes containing one or more thiocyanate (SCN-) ligands. The topic also includes transition metal complexes of isothiocyanate. These complexes have few applications but played significant role in the development of coordination chemistry.
