cynide is actually a non reversible inhibitor that completely blocks the active site of enzyme destryng its globular structure howevr recently in U.S they have came up wth cynide antidote kit that consists of certain compounds converting the toxic cynide to less toxin thiocynate. hence the person could servive.. moreover the action of cynide depends of whether it is inhaled in gas form of taken in in the form of salts and also its amount of consumption...

When did Hilde Goebbels die?
Helga Goebbels died on May 1, 1945, in Berlin, Germany of murder through cyanide poisoning.
What poison did gavrilo princip take?
cyanide
Did Hitlers wife shoot herself?
No. Hitlers wife did not shoot herself she took a cyanide pill.
Is it true that Hitler used cyanide and then shot himself?
He shot himself with a pistol, and also did take a cyanide capsule.
How do Adolf Hitler die?
Adolf Hitler commited sucide on April 30, 1945. First he swallowed a cyanide pill and didn't think it would work, so, he shot himself. and that was the end of hitler. (He also did this to many of his senior officers and there families before he died.)
Why is it not possible to survive cyanide poisoning by using anaerobic respiration alone?
It is impossible to survive Cyanide Poisoning on Anaerobic Respiration alone, because Anaerobic Respiration supplies inadequate amounts of ATP to support the metabolism of an organism.
Does cyanide poisoning look like heart disease?
No, cyanide poisoning stop the respiration .
How do you use the word cyanide in a sentence?
Vapors sniffed to counter the effects of cyanide poisoning.
Why does urine smell like almonds?
Cyanide Poisoning.
How did hitler kill himseft?
Cyanide poisoning and a bullet.
What causes almond-like feces odor?
Cyanide poisoning.
Does touching cyanide with bare hands kill you?
Cyanide salts are easily dissolved in water, such as moisture found on the hands. It can then be absorbed into the body through the skin causing cyanide poisoning. It is better that you do not touch any cyanide salts, such as sodium or potassium cyanide.
Can potassium cyanide kill when placed on wounds?
...from ashigakari.com ...no, because potassium cyanide can only kill when it is mixed with acid, producing hydrogen cyanide. in case of poisoning, the reaction occurs on digestion.
Treatment for cyanide poisoning?
It does. By use of sulfurtransferases residing within the body: Rhodanese and 3 Mercapto pyruvate. Rhodanese cleaves a sulfur ion from a donor substrate (usually a thiol) to Cyanide which forms Thiocyanate. It can be then easily excreted into the urine. Mercaptopyruvate donates its own sulfur ion to Cyanide to form pyruvate and thiocyanate.
Which oxygen dependent tissues are affected by acute cyanide poisoning?
Brain liver heart
When did Hilde Goebbels die?
Helga Goebbels died on May 1, 1945, in Berlin, Germany of murder through cyanide poisoning.
What is the cyanide antidote?
Cyanide poisoning occurs because cyanide inhibits the enzyme cytochrome c oxidase, which is one of the enzymes that enable cells to use oxygen. Antidotes for cyanide poisoning tend to focus on binding the cyanide ion so that this inhibition stops. The liver is capable of metabolizing cyanide as well, to take care of any small residual amounts remaining.There are several ways to accomplish this. Nitrites and/or 4-dimethylaminophenol both convert hemoglobin to methemoglobin, which binds tightly with cyanide. This causes problems of its own, though ... methemoglobin cannot carry oxygen, and it's necessary to convert a lot of hemoglobin to methemoglobin to be sure there's an excess to bind all the cyanide, which leaves the person treated with methemoglobinemia ... which then must be treated separately (usually by treatment with methylene blue). Thiosulfates react with cyanide to convert it to thiocyanide, which is much less toxic. However, the reaction does not occur quickly in the body, so this treatment must be supplemented with one of the others (usually nitrates/4-DMAP). Cyanide is present in one form of vitamin B12, so treatment with the cyanideless form hydroxocobalamin will bind cyanide in the harmless cyanocobalamin. Cobalt ions in general will bind cyanide, but cyanocobalt complexes are themselves generally toxic, so this is not necessarily much of an improvement. It is fast, though, and is sometimes used (in the form of the dicobalt EDTA complex) in cases of severe cyanide poisoning. Administration with glucose helps mitigate the toxic effects of the cyanocobalt complexes.
