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.
