What's the difference between cyanate and cyanite?

Cyanate


Definition:

  • (n.) A salt of cyanic acid.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The ternary complex consisting of a 65-kDa peptide originating from the proteoglycan core protein and a 43-kDa link protein bound to hyaluronic acid was purified from a clostripain digest of the rat chondrosarcoma aggregating proteoglycan and 14C-carbamylated with potassium [14C]cyanate.
  • (2) Oxygen consumption in cyanate-treated mice was significantly lower than in controls in room air but not different in hypoxic environments.
  • (3) The action of melphalan and 1-(2-chloroethyl)-3-cyclohexyl-1-nitrosourea (CCNU) in prolonging the survival time of melanoma-bearing mice was not enhanced by combined treatment with sodium cyanate.
  • (4) The kinetic 13C isotope effect on the decomposition of carbamoyl phosphate to cyanate and phosphate is 1.058.
  • (5) The binding of cyanate, galactose and glucose 6-phosphate to lens proteins, and the effect of ibuprofen on this reaction was investigated, as was cyanate-induced opacification in whole rat lenses.
  • (6) Another interesting property of PtdIns-glycan-specific phospholipases is their inactivation by bicarbonate and cyanate.
  • (7) The ability to respond to oral cyanate therapy was correlated with the amount of stainable iron in the bone marrow aspirate.
  • (8) In previous studies, we have found that combined treatment with BCNU and sodium cyanate could have a greater effect on the survival of mice bearing B16 melanoma than treatment with either agent alone.
  • (9) The inhibition of the binding of [14C]-glucose and [14C]-cyanate to the aspirin pre-treated crystallins suggests that prior acetylation with aspirin prevents the occurrence of the nonenzymatic glycosylation and carbamylation of the lens crystallins in vitro.
  • (10) The competitive inhibitor boric acid protects mesentericopeptidase against inactivation with potassium cyanate.
  • (11) Cyanate, which is in equilibrium with urea, combines with the alpha-amino group of the aminoterminal valine of hemoglobin in an irreversible, specific carbamylation reaction.
  • (12) Chemical modification of 15% of the lysine residues of LDL by carbamylation with cyanate or 20% by acetoacetylation with diketene prevents the LDL from competitively displacing unmodified 125I-LDL from the high affinity receptor sites or from binding directly to the receptor.
  • (13) The effect of carbamyl phosphate on glutathione concentrations, however, was virtually identical to that of cyanate.
  • (14) Pretreatment of mice with potassium cyanate for 15 days resulted in a significant increase in hemoglobin-oxygen affinity (decrease in P 50) and a significant protection against hypoxic hypoxia-induced lethality.
  • (15) Cyanate administered to mice at a dose of 30 mg per kg per day did not delay allograft rejection.
  • (16) NH2-terminal analysis by both the dansylation and cyanate procedures failed to identify a free NH2 terminus.
  • (17) Preincubation of lysates with cyanate or fluoride markedly decreased acetaldehyde-mediated transaminase inhibition but not aldolase inhibition.
  • (18) In an attempt to understand the variability of the hematologic response to oral sodium cyanate, iron metabolism was studied in a group of 39 patients with sickel cell disease.
  • (19) Two carbamylating agents, carbamyl phosphate and sodium cyanate, are currently being evaluated as therapeutic drugs for the treatment of sickle cell anemia.
  • (20) Hemoglobin carbamylation with sodium cyanate was used to study myocardial O2 delivery during increased oxyhemoglobin affinity.

Cyanite


Definition:

  • (n.) A mineral occuring in thin-bladed crystals and crystalline aggregates, of a sky-blue color. It is a silicate of aluminium.
