Cyanide


Definition:

  • (n.) A compound formed by the union of cyanogen with an element or radical.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Uptake could be supported either by substrate oxidation or by adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP), and was inhibited in the former case by antimycin or cyanide, in the latter case by oligomycin, and in both cases by 2,4-dinitrophenol.
