  Cyanogen - LoveToKnow 1911   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
When cyanogen is prepared by heating mercuric cyanide, a residue known as para-cyanogen, (CN)x, is left; this is to be regarded as a polymer of cyanogen.
Cyanogen is a colourless gas, possessing a peculiar characteristic smell, and is very poisonous.
It burns with a purple flame, forming carbon dioxide and nitrogen; and may be condensed (by cooling to - 25° C.) to a colourless liquid, and further to a solid, which melts at - 34.4° C. Faraday, Ann., 18 45, 56, p.

 Process of Producing Cyanogen Gas in Comet Hale
Cyanogen is a molecule composed of one atom each of carbon and nitrogen and a prominent compound found in most comets.
Scientists had once thought that cyanogen gas was released only after a comet had entered the H20 sublimation zone, a point on the comets orbit where it was about 3.0 astronomical units (AUs) -- about 280 million miles -- from the sun.
They were able to measure the spatial distribution of cyanogen gas throughout the comet, as well as its spectral profile.

 Cyanogen bromide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cyanogen bromide is a chemical primarily used to 'activate' biopolymers, for example, polysaccharides (such as Sepharose, for use in chromatography columns), or protein materials (for immunoassays), for easy subsequent covalent coupling to other reagents under relatively mild conditions.
However, very little cyanogen bromide is required to quantitatively cleave proteins and peptides; unlike most proteases which are usually used to cleave peptides, cyanogen bromide cleaves a peptide cleanly at the C-side of Methionine residues.
Cyanogen bromide is strongly electrophilic and is attacked by the nucleophilic sulfur on the methionine.

 Cyanogen bromide (CASRN 506-68-3), IRIS, Environmental Protection Agency
Decreased protein efficiency ratio was produced by dietary cyanide treatment of rats during gestation, lactation and postweaning growth phase in the Tewe and Maner (1981) experiment; the dose level of cyanide (10.6 mg/kg/day) producing that effect is slightly lower than the currently accepted NOAEL of 10.8 mg/kg/day.
Although the toxicity of cyanogen bromide appears to be related to the release of cyanide in chronic exposure to low levels of cyanogen bromide (Hartung, 1982), the toxicity of undissociated cyanogen bromide has not been evaluated.
Therefore, until specific data on cyanogen bromide become available, the RfD for cyanogen bromide is derived by analogy to cyanide.

Cyanogens in cassava plants convert to cyanide when raw cassava is eaten or processed.

 OhioLINK ETD: WINTERS, MICHAEL
Salt bridges between self-associating hen egg-white (HEW) lysozyme and bovine insulin molecules were converted to covalent links by ethanedinitrile (cyanogen) and identified using mass spectrometry.
Using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with ESI-Q-TOF MS, an intermolecular salt bridge association was identified by covalently linking the B chain C-terminal carboxyl group of Ala 30 and the charged imidazole of His 5 (B chain).
The results presented in thesis show that this methodology can be applied to protein-protein interactions in the intact cell and also suggests the possibility of using cyanogen to tract cell cycle dependent events.

Terms: The term cyanide refers to the anion CN or to its acidic form, hydrocyanic acid (HCN).
