Cyanide's Impact on Respiration Through Enzyme Inhibition

Cyanide, a noncompetitive inhibitor of the enzyme cytochrome c oxidase, disrupts electron transport in respiration by binding to the iron cofactor and blocking electron transfer to oxygen. This lethal effect was utilized in gas chambers during WWII, underscoring the crucial role of enzyme function i

The Many Faces of Gold: Properties, Production, and Ecological Risks

Gold, a yellow, glossy, and durable metal, is highly conductive and resistant to corrosion. It reacts only with aqua regia and is found in pure form in rocks or as an alloy with silver. Gold mining involves cyanide leaching, primarily in South Africa, the Urals, and Australia. However, it poses ecol
