Recombination cytochrome

Together with the site of metabolism, the rate of metabolism is a fundamental factor since this will contribute to the rate of elimination of the compound from the body. The rate of metabolism can be measured using different in vitro systems (cytochrome recombinant, human liver microsome, human hepatocites, etc). Normally, the data are produced using different compounds and the rate values are extracted from complex systems like liver microsomes, or human hepatocites.

TABLE 6 Surface Density and Area per Molecule of Cytochrome P450scc wild type and Recombinant in LB Film Deposited onto Solid Substrate... 

Comparative study of LB films of cytochrome P450 wild type and recombinant revealed similar surface-active properties of the samples. CD spectra have shown that the secondary structure of these proteins is practically identical. Improved thermal stability is also similar for LB films built up from these proteins. Marked differences for LB films of wild type and recombinant protein were observed in surface density and the thickness of the deposited layer. These differences can be explained by improved purity of the recombinant sample. In fact, impurity can disturb layer formation, preventing closest packing and diminishing the surface density and the average monolayer thickness. Decreased purity of...

Since the two-spin state forms can lead to different products, the products obtained will be a mixture that reflects the initial fractionation of the reaction between the two-spin states. The fractionation in turn is a reflection of the interplay and the probability of cross-over between the two-spin states (8). Thus, the two-state reactivity paradigm resolves the dilemma of whether a radical recombination or a direct insertion mechanism governs cytochrome P450-catalyzed hydroxylation actually they are both involved and the degree to which either is expressed depends upon the specific substrate hydroxylated and the specific enzyme. 

Several kinetic parameters can be measured on different experimental systems to account for the interaction of a compound with CYPs. For example when studying the metabolic stability of a compound, it could be measured in a recombinant CYP system, in human liver microsomes, in hepatocytes and so on. Each system increases in biological complexity. Although in the recombinant CYP system only the cytochrome under consideration is studied, in the case of the human liver microsomes, there is a pool of enzyme present that includes several CYPs, and finally in the hepatocyte cell system, metabolizing enzymes play an important role in the metabolic compound stability. In addition, transport systems are also present that could involve recirculation or other transport phenomena. The more complex the experimental system, the more difficult it is to extract information on the protein/ligand interaction, albeit it is closer to the in vivo real situation and therefore to the mechanism that is actually working in the body.

Although the first purification of bNOS was a monomer, it is now clear that the enzyme in all cases is effective as a dimer. A purified macrophage iNOS was used by Baek and coworkers98 to separate the holoenzyme from the monomers. The subunits do not have NOS activity but do have the ability to oxidize reduced triphosphopyridine nucleotide with either ferricyanide, cytochrome c or dichlorophenolindophenol. When all of the missing factors are present, but not when any is missing, the authors find recombination, as shown in Figure 13.
