Cyanide
Description
Cyanide (usually added as KCN) is a competitive inhibitor of cytochcrome c oxidase (CIV). Inhibition is reversed by pyruvate and high oxygen levels.
Abbreviation: KCN
Reference: MiPNet09.12
Application in HRR
Inhibitor titrations, CIV-assay, alternative oxidase and ROX
- Cyanide and determination of residual oxygen consumption (ROX).
- Complex IV assay
- alternative oxidase
- Kcn(KCN): Fluka 60178, 100 g, store at R.T.; FW = 65.12; Trizma base: Sigma T6066, 100 g, store at R.T.; FW = 121.14
- Caution: KCN is photosensitive and hygroscopic; HCN is volatile and very toxic! It is recommended to prepare fresh KCN solution although it can be safely stored at -20°C. To avoid KCN evaporation, it is recommended to use alkaline buffers (such as 45 mM Trizma base, pH >10).
- Preparation of 20 mM KCN stock (in 45 mM Trizma base)
- Preparation of 45 mM Trizma base:
- Weigh 545 mg of Trizma base
- Dissolve it in 100 mL of H20.
- Preparation of 20 mM KCN:
- Weigh 5.2 mg of KCN and dissolve in 4 mL of 45 mM Trizma base.
- Divide into 500 µL aliquots (use dark glass vials).
- Store frozen at -20 °C.
- Preparation of 20 mM KCN:
- » O2k manual titrations MiPNet09.12 O2k-Titrations
- Titration volume: 100 µL of 20 mM stock (2 mL O2k-chamber).
- Final concentration: 1 mM.
- » O2k manual titrations MiPNet09.12 O2k-Titrations
