Purification and characterization of six cytochrome P-450 isozymes from human liver microsomes.

TL;DR: Six cytochrome P-450 (P-450) isozymes were purified to electrophoretic homogeneity from the livers of four human organ donors, providing a strong biochemical basis for the view that distinct isoz enzymes of P- 450 exist in humans and that these isozikes differ in catalytic activity toward drugs and carcinogens.

Fatty Acid Hydroperoxide Lyase: A Plant Cytochrome P450 Enzyme Involved in Wound Healing and Pest Resistance

TL;DR: The identification of this enzyme as a cytochrome P450 sheds new light on its structure and possible reaction mechanism, whereas recombinant expression brings a biocatalytic application into sight.

Genetics of P450 oxidoreductase: sequence variation in 842 individuals of four ethnicities and activities of 15 missense mutations.

TL;DR: The activity of a previously described variant, A503V, was reduced to a modest but statistically significant degree in all four assays, suggesting that it may play an important role in interindividual variation in drug response.
Journal ArticleDOI

Drug metabolism by the human hepatoma cell, Hep G2

TL;DR: Results suggest that Hep G2 cells will be useful for the study of cytochrome P-450 and the regulation of mixed function oxidase activities in liver cells of human origin.

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).
