Poisons
Many poisons have a structure like 3 methols attached to 1 Carbon. ACTH
is the mediator Take the case of Cyanide: it is a poison because it has
high affinity to the HEME, and changes the heme so it is unable to carry
O2. And does so irreversibly. Lethal 20 mg/kg --a drop how many molecules
and EACH MOLECULE can kill one horse How many? (trillions)
BOX Tzar tried to kill Rasputin Put poison in a cake, but Rasputin lived,
because the poison interacted with cake fat. If you have lead poisoning
you should drink drink milk because milk has so many proteins with affinity
for heavy metals.
