Cyanide is a toxic compound that is converted to the non-toxic thiocyanate by a rhodanese enzyme. Rhodaneses belong to the family of transferases (sulfurtransferases), which are largely studied.

Supersulfide biology and translational medicine for disease control
Abstract For decades, the major focus of redox biology has been oxygen, the most abundant element on Earth. Molecular oxygen functions as the final electron acceptor in the mitochondrial respiratory chain, contributing to energy production in aerobic organisms. In addition, oxygen‐derived reactive oxygen species including hydrogen peroxide and nitrogen

Sorghum Poisoning in Livestock: Mechanisms, Risks, and Sustainable Mitigation Strategies
Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) is a drought‐tolerant crop grown in both arid and semiarid regions and serves as both food and fodder. Under environmental stresses, sorghum accumulates cyanogenic glucosides, especially dhurrin. Through ingestion, dhurrin is hydrolyzed into a toxic element called hydrogen cyanide (HCN).

Cyanide Beyond Toxicity: A Systematic Review of Its Effects on Vascular Function
ABSTRACT Cyanide is widely recognized for its potent toxicity, yet evidence shows that concentrations below 1 μM may enhance cytochrome c oxidase activity and have a regulatory function. Recent findings also demonstrate that mammalian cells, including endothelial cells, produce cyanide endogenously, where it can modulate mitochondrial bioenergetics ...

Investigation of three accessory subunits of complex I from Yarrowia lipolytica [PDF]
The nicotinamide-adenine-dinucleotide (NADH):ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) from the strictly aerobic yeast Y. lipolytica contains at least 26 “accessory” subunits however the significance of most of them remains unknown. The aim of this study was

Cysteine Signalling in Plant Pathogen Response
ABSTRACT The amino acid cysteine is the precursor for a wide range of sulfur‐containing functional molecules in plants, including enzyme cofactors and defence compounds. Due to its redox active thiol group cysteine is highly reactive. Synthesis and degradation pathways are present in several subcellular compartments to adjust the intracellular cysteine

High protein diet reduced visceral adipose tissue through MTA‐TST‐Bak/Casp‐3 axis, suggesting that MTA has the potential to be developed as a functional substance for obesity prevention and control. ABSTRACT To explore the mechanism of a high‐protein diet (named high protein and rich fat diet, HPRFD) with weight loss effect regulating visceral fat ...
