2012 |
3885 |
Cytochrome P450BM3-F87G catalyzed the oxidative defluorination of 4-fluorophenol, followed by reduction of the resulting benzoquinone to hydroquinone via the NADPH P450-reductase activity of the enzyme. The k catand K m for this reaction were 71 ± 5 ... |
Effects of green tea extracts on gene expression in HepG2 and Cal-27 cells |
2006 |
3345 |
Green tea extract is known to contain compounds that are able to produce antioxidant effects in many types of living cells. Treatment of cultured human hepatoma (HepG2) cells with green tea extract resulted in dramatically increased expression of at ... |
Effects of herbal products and their constituents on human cytochrome P4502E1 activity |
2007 |
2569 |
Ethanolic extracts from fresh Echinacea purpurea and Spilanthes acmella and dried Hydrastis canadensis were examined with regard to their ability to inhibit cytochrome P4502E1 mediated oxidation of p-nitrophenol in vitro. In addition, individual cons... |
Farnesol as an inhibitor and substrate for rabbit liver microsomal P450 enzymes |
2002 |
2957 |
Farnesol and the related isoprenoids, geranylgeraniol, geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate, and farnesyl pyrophosphate, are produced in the endoplasmic reticulum of hepatocytes in mammals, and each serve important biological functions. Of these compounds, o... |
Isotopic labeling of the heme cofactor in cytochrome p450 and other heme proteins. |
2011 |
2839 |
A recombinant bacterial expression system that generates 13C-labeled heme or 15N-labeled heme in functional cytochrome P450 enzymes and other heme-containing systems is reported here using a mutant strain of Escherichia coli (HU227) in which the HemA... |
Liver Enzyme-Mediated Oxidation of Echinacea purpurea Alkylamides: Production of Novel Metabolites and Changes in Immunomodulatory Activity |
2006 |
3389 |
The medicinal plant Echinacea is widely used to treat upper respiratory infections and is reported to stimulate the human immune system. A major constituent class of Echinacea, the alkyl-amides, has immunomodulatory effects. Recent studies show that ... |
Membrane Topology of Cytochrome P450 2B4 in Langmuir-Blodgett Monolayers |
1998 |
1750 |
Using Langmuir–Blodgett monolayers of both phosphatidylethanolamines and phosphatidylcholines as membrane mimics, we have examined the topology of cytochrome P450 2B4 anchoring. The interaction of wild-type P450 2B4 with phosphatidylethanolamine mono... |
Oxymyohemerythrin: discriminating between O2 release and autoxidation |
2000 |
1686 |
Myohemerythrin (Mhr) is a non-heme iron O2 carrier (with two irons in the active site) that is typically found in the retractor muscle of marine ‘peanut’ worms. OxyMhr may either release O2, or undergo an autoxidation reaction i... |
Peroxo-iron and Oxenoid-iron Species as Alternative Oxygenating Agents in Cytochrome P450-catalyzed Reactions: Switching by Threonine-302 to Alanine Mutagenesis of Cytochrome P450 2B4. |

PksS from Bacillus subtilis is a cytochrome P450 involved in bacillaene metabolism |
2007 |
2916 |
As part of the pksX gene cluster of Bacillus subtilis strain 168, pksX has been preliminarily annotated as a cytochrome P450 homolog that hydroxylates the polyketide product of this cluster, which was recently shown to be involved in th... |
Single turnover studies of oxidative halophenol dehalogenation by horseradish peroxidase reveal a mechanism involving two consecutive one electron steps: toward a functional halophenol bioremediation catalyst. |
2012 |
2220 |
Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) catalyzes the oxidative para-dechlorination of the environmental pollutant/carcinogen 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (2,4,6-TCP). A possible mechanism for this reaction is a direct oxygen atom transfer from HRP compound I (HRP I) ... |
Spectroscopic investigations of intermediates in the reaction of cytochrome P450BM3–F87G with surrogate oxygen atom donors |
