TLDR
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.

Activation of CYP3A4: evidence for the simultaneous binding of two substrates in a cytochrome P450 active site.

TL;DR: Kinetic analyses of these two substrates show that 7,8-benzoflavone increases the Vmax of phenanthrene metabolism without changing the Km and that Phenanthrene decreases the V max of 7, 8-benZ oflavone metabolism without increasing the KM, providing the first evidence that two different molecules can be simultaneously bound to the same P450 active site.

Phenotypic stability of adult rat hepatocytes in primary monolayer culture.

TL;DR: P phenotypic change occurs in primary hepatocyte culture, not only in mammalian but also in amphibian hepatocytes7; it is distinct from a process of senescence or impaired viability; and it may be quantitatively impressive, involving key hepatic functions.

Biochemistry of Drug Oxidation and Reduction by Enzymes in Hepatic Endoplasmic Reticulum

TL;DR: This chapter discusses the biochemistry of drug oxidation and reduction by enzymes in hepatic endoplasmic reticulum, and the pharmacological effects of highly bound drugs, such as chlorpromazine, phenylbutazone, and thiopental.
Journal ArticleDOI

Arachidonic Acid-metabolizing Cytochrome P450 Enzymes Are Targets of ω-3 Fatty Acids

TL;DR: It is found that these ω-3 epoxides are highly active as antiarrhythmic agents, suppressing the Ca2+-induced increased rate of spontaneous beating of neonatal rat cardiomyocytes, at low nanomolar concentrations.

Protein Measurement with the Folin Phenol Reagent

TL;DR: Procedures are described for measuring protein in solution or after precipitation with acids or other agents, and for the determination of as little as 0.2 gamma of protein.

The Carbon Monoxide-binding Pigment of Liver Microsomes II. SOLUBILIZATION, PURIFICATION, AND PROPERTIES

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.

Hepatic Triphosphopyridine Nucleotide-Cytochrome c Reductase: Isolation, Characterization, and Kinetic Studies

TL;DR: Evidence is presented which suggests that this enzyme participates in a microsomal elect,ron transport system which does not include cytochrome c and kinetic evidence has been obtained which allows certain conclusions to be drawn concerning the mechanism of catalysis by this enzyme.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microsomal triphosphopyridine nucleotide-cytochrome c reductase of liver.

TL;DR: The biological role of reduced triphosphopyridine nucleotide (TPNH) and the metabolic pathways of its hydrogen atom and electron appear to be fundamentally different from those of reduced diphosphipyridineucleotide (DPNH).
