Reaction of [Pt3(/u-S02)3 P(Cy)3 3] with 2,6-xylyl isocyanide results in displacement of one or at most two of the S02 ligands by the isocyanide.21 Similarly, carbon monoxide usually only partially displaces the S02, but the addition of trimethylamine /V-oxide (Me3NO) facilitates the substitution leading to formation of [PtsQx-COjsfPlCyjs js].22 Me3NO also facilitates substitution of one S02 ligand by halides and azide.2... 

Sylwester and Dervan s assignment was supported by the observation that the violet photoproduct decomposes to N2 and H2 upon warming the glass or upon further irradiation of the glass. Furthermore, photolysis of 62 in argon at 10 K leads to the disappearance of the IR spectrum of the azide and the appearance of new bands at 2865, 2808, 2141, 1863, 1574, and 1003 cm. The 2141-cm band is due to the formation of carbon monoxide. The band at 1574 is assigned to the... 

The answer is c. (Murray, pp 123-148. Scriver, pp 2367-2424. Sack, pp 159-175. Wilson, pp 287-317.) The electron transport chain shown contains three proton pumps linked by two mobile electron carriers. At each of these three sites (NADH-Q reductase, cytochrome reductase, and cytochrome oxidase) the transfer of electrons down the chain powers the pumping of protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane. The blockage of electron transfers by specific point inhibitors leads to a buildup of highly reduced carriers behind the block because of the inability to transfer electrons across the block. In the scheme shown, rotenone blocks step A, antimycin A blocks step B, and carbon monoxide (as well as cyanide and azide) blocks step E. Therefore a carbon monoxide inhibition leads to a highly reduced state of all of the carriers of the chain. Puromycin and chloramphenicol are inhibitors of protein synthesis and have no direct effect upon the electron transport chain.

The dioxygen (O molecule serves as an acceptor when interacting with the Fe center of the protein porphyrin structure therefore, other n acceptor molecules such as nitric oxide (NO), carbon monoxide (CO), cyanide (CN ), isocyanide (R-NC), azide ion (Nj ), and thiocyanate (SCN ) can stop hemoglobin from properly capturing and transporting oxygen ultimately leading to asphyxiation and death.
