1. Cytochrome oxidase is an important electron carrier in the electron transport chain.2. Cyanmethemoglobin is formed and the cytochrome oxidase enzyme is restored. 3. The nitrites oxidize hemoglobin to methemoglobin, which competes with cytochrome oxidase for the cyanide ion. 4. She said one element of the aging process is that cytochrome oxidase becomes less efficient. 5. In mitochondria the terminal membrane complex ( " Complex IV " ) is cytochrome oxidase . 6. Cyanide binds to cytochrome oxidase and renders it useless. 7. It is negative for the following tests : nitrate respiration, fermentative growth, catalase, and cytochrome oxidase . 8. Cyanide does not act on hemoglobin, but on cytochrome oxidase , as a " metabolic poison ". 9. ""'Varroa jacobsoni " "'is a species of mite that cytochrome oxidase I gene in the mitochondrial DNA. 10. In obesity, said Ferguson-Miller, cytochrome oxidase may be too efficient, leading to a surplus of fat cells and to excess weight.
