Carboxyl groups of NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase have been modified with the water-soluble carbodiimide EDC. Although there is no significant loss in DCPIP reduction the activity with cytochrome c and cytochrome P-450 LM2 as electron acceptors was inhibited by about 60 and 85%, respectively (1 h incubation time, 20 mM EDC). The inactivation by EDC was nearly completely prevented in the presence of cytochrome P-450 LM2, but not by bovine serum albumin. These results and crosslinking studies suggest that carboxyl groups of NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase are involved in charge-pair interactions to cytochrome c and to at least two amino groups of cytochrome P-450 LM2.

D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction
D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

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.
