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.

Increased hepatotoxicity of acetaminophen after chronic ethanol consumption in the rat

TL;DR: Chronic ethanol feeding increases the hepatotoxicity of acetaminophen; enhanced production of reactive metabolite(s) may be responsible.

Cytochrome P450-dependent drug oxidation activities in liver microsomes of various animal species including rats, guinea pigs, dogs, monkeys, and humans

TL;DR: Levels of cytochrome P450 proteins immunoreactive to antibodies raised against human CYP1A2, 2A6, 2C9, 2E1, and 3A4, monkey CYP2B17, and rat CyP2D1 were determined in liver microsomes of rats, guinea pigs, dogs, monkeys, and humans; the differences in these animal species varied with the P450 enzymes examined and the substrates used.

Structure of mammalian cytochrome P450 2C5 complexed with diclofenac at 2.1 A resolution: evidence for an induced fit model of substrate binding.

TL;DR: The structure exhibits conformational changes indicative of an adaptive fit to the substrate reflecting both the hydration and size of the substrate, indicating how structurally diverse substrates are recognized by drug-metabolizing P450 enzymes.

What makes a P450 tick

TL;DR: Recent studies have provided the first definitive characterization of the transient reaction cycle intermediate (compound I) responsible for the majority of P450 oxidative reactions.

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.

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).
