TLDR
Thioanisole derivatives were found to be oxygenated by a reconstituted system of purified cytochrome P-450 to give sulfoxides suggesting the oxygenation to proceed via one electron transfer from sulfides to the active species of the enzyme.

Oxidizing species in the mechanism of cytochrome P450

TL;DR: In this paper, a review discusses the mechanisms of oxygen activation by cytochrome P450 enzymes, the possible catalytic roles of the various iron-oxygen species formed in the catalytic cycle, and progress in understanding the mechanism of hydrocarbon hydroxylation, heteroatom oxidation, and olefin epoxidation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enzymatic oxidation of xenobiotic chemicals.

TL;DR: There is actually some commonality among many of the catalytic mechanisms of oxidation, even among proteins with different structures and prosthetic groups, and it is seen that cytochrome P-450 has some elements of a peroxidase and vice versa.

Substrate Oxidation by Cytochrome P450 Enzymes

TL;DR: The role of the ferric peroxo complex as an electrophilic oxidizing agent remains a matter of debate, as the evidence advanced in support of the proposal is circumstantial and contradictory.

Role of Radical Cations in Aromatic Hydrocarbon Carcinogenesis

TL;DR: Evidence is provided for the involvement of one-electron oxidation in PAH carcinogenesis through binding of benzo[a]pyrene to mouse skin DNA, which occurs predominantly at C-6, the position of highest charge localization in the BP radical cation, and binding of 6-methyl BP to DNA in mouse skin yields a major adduct.

Aliphatic hydroxylation by highly purified liver microsomal cytochrome P-450. Evidence for a carbon radical intermediate

TL;DR: A very large isotope effect and a significant amount of epimerization for the hydroxylation of norbornane by cytochrome P-450, suggest an initial hydrogen abstraction to give a carbon radical intermediate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Studies on hydroperoxide-dependent substrate hydroxylation by purified liver microsomal cytochrome P-450.

TL;DR: Data obtained are in accord with a peroxidase-like mechanism for the action of cytochrome P-450, which catalyzes the hydroperoxide-dependent hydroxylation of a variety of substrates in the absence of NADPH, NADPHcytochromeP-450 reductase, and molecular oxygen.

A gel-electrophoretically homogeneous preparation of cytochrome P-450 from liver microsomes of phenobarbital-pretreated rabbits

TL;DR: Cytochrome P-450 was purified from liver microsomes of phenobarbital-pretreated rabbits to a specific content of 16 to 17 nmoles per mg of protein with a yield of about 10 %.

Interaction of Peroxidases with Aromatic Peracids and Alkyl Peroxides PRODUCT ANALYSIS

TL;DR: The results establish that horseradish peroxidase (H-peroxidases) Compound I is not an enzyme peroxide complex, but a derivative in which the active site is oxidized.
