Circular dichroism of partially purified cytochrome P-450 from rabbit liver microsomes. 1976

G R Jänig, and W Winkler, and K Ruckpaul, and H Rein

The heme related circular dichroic bands of solubilized cytochrome P-450 from rabbit liver and some of its complexes with type I- and type II-substrayes and heme iron ligands were measured in the Soret region. All P-450 dersorption. The positions of the dichroic bands together with their ellipticities vary with ligand substitution and the oxidative state of the iron. The results are compared with CD-date of other hemoproteins and discussed with respect to stereochemical properties of the heme pocket.

D003577 Cytochrome P-450 Enzyme System A superfamily of hundreds of closely related HEMEPROTEINS found throughout the phylogenetic spectrum, from animals, plants, fungi, to bacteria. They include numerous complex monooxygenases (MIXED FUNCTION OXYGENASES). In animals, these P-450 enzymes serve two major functions: (1) biosynthesis of steroids, fatty acids, and bile acids; (2) metabolism of endogenous and a wide variety of exogenous substrates, such as toxins and drugs (BIOTRANSFORMATION). They are classified, according to their sequence similarities rather than functions, into CYP gene families (>40% homology) and subfamilies (>59% homology). For example, enzymes from the CYP1, CYP2, and CYP3 gene families are responsible for most drug metabolism.
