The Action of Potassium Cyanide and Potassium Ferricyanide on Certain Respiratory Pigments
نویسنده
چکیده
The oxygen in hemoglobin is liberated by K(3)Fe(CN)(6) and not by KCN, that in hemocyanin by KCN and not by K(3)Fe(CN)(6), that in hemerythrin by both, and that in echinochrome by K(3)Fe(CN)(6) and not by KCN. The bearing of these results on the nature of the substances involved is discussed.

متن کاملThe NADH dehydrogenase of the respiratory chain of Escherichia coli. II. Kinetics of the purified enzyme and the effects of antibodies elicited against it on membrane-bound and free enzyme.
The purified respiratory chain NADH dehydrogenase of Escherichia coli oxidizes NADH with either dichlorophenolindophenol (DCIP). ferricyanide, or menadione as electron acceptors, with values for NADH are similar with the three electron acceptors (approximately 50 muM). The purified enzyme contains no flavin and has an absolute requirement for FAD, with Km values around 4 muM. The pH optimum of ...
متن کاملPyocyanine, an Accessory Respiratory Enzyme
Pyocyanine, the blue pigment of B. pyocyaneus, can increase the respiration of living cells to a great degree (maximum observed increase 24-fold). The reversibility of its oxidation and reduction is responsible for this. The effect is non-species-specific and has been observed in varying degrees with B. pyocyaneus, Staphylococcus aureus, Pneumococcus Type III, and the red blood corpuscles of ra...
