TLDR
An abnormal porphyrin, tentatively identified as an NN-bridged benzyne-protoporphyr in IX adduct, appears to be formed by the addition of catalytically generated benzynes to prosthetic haem.
Abstract
Destruction of hepatic cytochrome P-450 during catalytic processing of 1-amino-benzotriazole is accompanied by an equal loss of microsomal haem but not by loss of cytochrome b5, or stimulation of lipid peroxidation. An abnormal porphyrin, tentatively identified as an NN-bridged benzyne-protoporphyrin IX adduct, appears to be formed by the addition of catalytically generated benzyne to prosthetic haem.

Biodegradation of the gasoline oxygenates methyl tert-butyl ether, ethyl tert-butyl ether, and tert-amyl methyl ether by propane-oxidizing bacteria.

TL;DR: Several propane-oxidizing bacteria were tested for their ability to degrade gasoline oxygenates, including methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), ethyl tert- butyl Ether (ETBE), and tert-amyl methyl ether (TAME), and both a laboratory strain and natural isolates were able to degrade each compound after growth on propane.

Flavin-containing monooxygenases: Catalytic mechanism and substrate specificities

TL;DR: In this paper, Flavin-containing monooxygenases: Catalytic mechanism and substrate specificities are discussed. But the authors focus on the mechanism and not the substrate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enzymatic activation of chemicals to toxic metabolites.

TL;DR: This review focuses on cases in which metabolism activates chemicals to reactive species which cause cellular damage, and considers vinyl halides, acetaminophen, pyrrolizidine alkaloids, and fluoroxene, which carry out a variety of oxygenations.

Cytochromes P450 for engineering herbicide tolerance

TL;DR: The recovery of an increasing number of plant P450 genes in recombinant form has enabled their use in experimentation, which has revealed their extraordinary potential for engineering herbicide tolerance, biosafening, bioremediation and green chemistry.

The Carbon Monoxide-binding Pigment of Liver Microsomes I. EVIDENCE FOR ITS HEMOPROTEIN NATURE

TL;DR: The present paper gives a detailed account of the investigations on rabbit liver microsomes and crude microsomal digests, which have led to postulate the hemoprotein nature of the pigment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Self-catalyzed inactivation of hepatic cytochrome P-450 by ethynyl substrates.

TL;DR: Field desorption mass spectrometric analysis of these eight pigments has established that each one gives a molecular ion which corresponds to the sum of the molecular weights of the dimethyl ester of protoporphyrin IX plus the substrate plus an oxygen atom.

Destruction of cytochrome P-450 by ethylene and other olefins.

TL;DR: No cytochrome P-450 loss is observed after incubation with styrene, cyclohexene, 2-methyl-1-heptene, and 3- hexene, a result which suggests that steric and electronic factors can suppress the destructive interaction.

Spectral characterization of human hemoglobin and its derivatives.

TL;DR: This chapter focuses on the spectra of the most common hemoglobin derivatives, as well as the methodology used in their preparation, and the cyanide derivative, whose spectral properties are pH independent over a wide range.

Destruction of cytochrome P-450 by 2-isopropyl-4-pentenamide and methyl 2-isopropyl-4-pentenoate: mass spectrometric characterization of prosthetic heme adducts and nonparticipation of epoxide metabolites.

TL;DR: Results clearly establish that the carbonyl groups of the two destructive substrates are intimately involved in formation of the isolated porphyrin adducts, and exclude participation of the corresponding epoxide metabolites in the destruction of cytochrome P-450.
