On the Mechanism of Inactivation of Xanthine Oxidase by Cyanide

Open access
Massey, Vincent, Edmondson, Dale·1970·Journal of Biological Chemistry

Abstract

Abstract The inactivation of xanthine oxidase by cyanide is accompanied by the extraction of sulfur from the protein which is eliminated as thiocyanate. When the cyanide inactivation is carried out under anaerobic conditions, partial reduction of the enzyme occurs, equivalent to approximately a 2-electron uptake per eq of thiocyanate released. Cyanide-inactivated enzyme can be largely reactivated by incubation with Na2S. Experiments with 35S-labeled Na2S reveal that the reactivation is accompanied by the reincorporation of sulfur into the protein. Treatment of such 35S-labeled enzyme with cyanide results in inactivation again and the elimination of 35S-labeled thiocyanate.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
