cyanide treatment destabilized human SQOR and leads to its inactivation with concomitant loss of the bridging sulfane sulfur. Addition of sulfide to inactive cyanide treated enzyme leads to recovery of active SQOR, indicating that the oxidation state of the active site cysteines is preserved upon cyanide treatment. Crystallization of SQOR with cyanide led to the capture of a 379Cys N-(201Cys-disulfanyl)-methanimido thioate intermediate.
