What's the difference between cyanide and prussiate?

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.
  • (2) The rhodamine 123-induced growth inhibition was partially reversed by treating the dye-pre-exposed infected erythrocytes with the proton ionophore carbonyl-cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone, which dissipates transmembrane proton gradients.
  • (3) These results are in marked contrast to our results with stroma-free methemoglobin solutions (SFMS) which showed SFMS to be a highly effective antidote against four times the LD90 when administered 30 seconds after an intravenous injection of cyanide.
  • (4) A sharp decrease in oxygen uptake occurred in Neurospora crassa cells that were transferred from 30 degrees C to 45 degrees C, and the respiration that resumed later at 45 degrees C was cyanide-insensitive.
  • (5) R2 values for cyanide intake (independent variable) on serum protein (dependent variable) increased from day 30 to 90 of the trial.
  • (6) The cattle filarial parasite Setaria digitata, a facultative anaerobe which is reported to be cyanide insensitive, lacks cytochromes and presents many unique characters.
  • (7) The electronic structure of the low-spin ferric iron in cyanide complex appears to be modulated by halide binding to a protonated amino acid in the distal heme cavity.
  • (8) In the present work we report that 1) the catalytic center or the essential domains of dicarboxylyl-CoA synthetase are located at the cytosolic aspect of the endoplasmic reticulum membrane; 2) dicarboxylyl-CoA oxidase is optimally active on dodecanedioyl-CoA and is a peroxisomal enzyme; 3) cyanide-insensitive dodecanedioyl-CoA oxidation (NADH production) is catalyzed by rat liver homogenates.
  • (9) This allowed hydrogen cyanide gas to enter the thoracic cavity and diffuse into the blood probably causing the high blood-cyanide level.
  • (10) Neither cytochrome a nor cytochrome c appears to be an obligatory intermediate in cyanide-sensitive nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide oxidation in B. subtilis.
  • (11) The pyruvate dehydrogenase multienzyme complex from bovine kidney and heart is inactivated by treatment with pyridoxal 5'-phosphate and sodium cyanide or sodium borohydride.
  • (12) Fish stocks have been decimated by methods that include cyanide poisoning.
  • (13) The synthesis of aminolaevulate by freeze-dried particles decreased more than that of aminoacetone in the absence of added pyridoxal phosphate, in the presence of cyanide and of tris buffer, and after preincubation of the erythrocyte particles.
  • (14) The use of both mPMS and azide also eliminated the production of NBT monoformazan which occurred with PMS and cyanide.
  • (15) A similar plot for amygdalin was curvilinear, with the rate of cyanide release increasing with time.
  • (16) The superoxide dismutase was a cyanide-insensitive protein of approximately 40,000 molecular weight that migrated electrophoretically on acrylamide gels as a single band of activity.
  • (17) Glycidonitrile, an acrylonitrile metabolite, proved more potent in this respect than the parent acrylonitrile or its end metabolite, cyanide anion.
  • (18) Studies on the metabolism of nicotine by rabbit liver microsomal fractions in the presence of 0.01 M sodium cyanide have led to the characterization of two isomeric cyanonicotine compounds.
  • (19) alpha; this also led to restoration of the cyanide or azide insensitivity and the glucose-ferricyanide oxidoreductase activity in the respiratory chain without affecting other respiratory activities such as glucose and sorbitol oxidases.
  • (20) Release was abrogated by omission of myeloperoxidase or H2O2, heating of MPO, or addition of azide, cyanide, or catalase.

Prussiate


Definition:

  • (n.) A salt of prussic acid; a cyanide.
