Insect P450 enzymes.

TL;DR: Polymorphisms in induction or constitutive expression allow insects to scan their P450 gene repertoire for the appropriate response to chemical insults, and these evolutionary pressures in turn maintain P450 diversity.

Cytochromes P450: a success story

TL;DR: Cytochrome P450 proteins, named for the absorption band at 450 nm of their carbon-monoxide-bound form, are one of the largest superfamilies of enzyme proteins.

Analytical study of microsomes and isolated subcellular membranes from rat liver. I. Biochemical methods.

TL;DR: The series introduced by this paper reports the results of a detailed analysis of the microsomal fraction from rat liver by density gradient centrifugation.

Activation of chemically diverse procarcinogens by human cytochrome P-450 1B1

TL;DR: The selectivity of this enzyme in the activation of a variety of environmental carcinogens and mutagens in Salmonella typhimurium TA1535/pSK1002 or NM2009 tester strains was examined using the SOS response as an end point of DNA damage.

Characterization of Interintestinal and Intraintestinal Variations in Human CYP3A-Dependent Metabolism

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that the upper small intestine serves as the major site for intestinal CYP3A-mediated first-pass metabolism and provides a rationale for interindividual differences in oral bioavailability for some CYP 3A substrates.

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.

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).
