Both enzymes were insensitive to cyanide but sensitive to hydrogen peroxide, properties characteristic of iron-containing superoxide dismutase.
Cyanogenesis in animal-plant interactions: cyanide compounds in biology.
We propose that double metal cyanides might have acted as an important prebiotic catalyst.
Evidence that reduction of the nitroprusside anion and cyanide loss are required.
These compounds are hydrogen cyanide and formaldehyde, acting as precursors of complex biochemical substances.
Amongst these were those that affect cytochrome oxidase, viz. carbon monoxide, potassium cyanide, sodium azide, hydroxylamine, and hydrogen sulphide.
Ex hypothesi, he cannot know this through having seen an agent give another cyanide for this purpose.
In the writer's opinion these stand pre-eminent among the fumigants, although hydrocyanic acid possesses the higher lethal effect, whether evolved by the liquid method or by exposing calcium cyanide.
