Application
Butyl isocyanide was used to study the crystal structure of carbon monoxide dehydrogenases-II isolated from Carboxydothermus hydrogenoformans. It was used to probe the mechanism of NO activation of the hemoprotein soluble guanylate cyclase. .
Biochem/physiol Actions
Butyl isocyanide forms complex with ferric and ferrous iron of the heme in cytochrome P450.
Other Notes
May form haziness and/or precipitate with no loss in purity.

Crystal structures of methyl, ethyl, propyl, and butyl isocyanide bound to sperm whale myoglobin (Mb) reveal two major conformations. In the in conformer, His(E7) is in a "closed" position, forcing the ligand alkyl chain to point inward. In the out

Protein matrix cavities and extended tunnels can effectively channel substrates and products to and from active sites in enzymes. Substrate and product channeling can enhance catalytic efficiency by reducing the intramolecular diffusion times to and from reaction centers. Moreover, protected
