The high-pressure stopped-flow technique is applied to study the CO binding in cytochrome P450cam (P450cam) bound with homologous substrates (1R-camphor, camphane, norcamphor and norbornane) and in the substrate-free protein. The activation volume DeltaV # of the CO on-rate is positive

Step-scan time-resolved Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy with a time resolution of 5 micros was applied to the carbon monoxide complex of cytochrome P-450cam (CYP101) to study the bimolecular ligand-rebinding process after flash photolysis. Spectral changes in the CO ligand stretch

The hydroxylations of d-camphor, norcamphor, pericyclocamphanone, and 5,5-difluorocamphor by cytochrome P-450cam have been examined using theoretical methods to identify and characterize properties which determine product specificity. Experimental results indicate that each molecule is hydroxylated with quite different regio-specificity when metabolized

While cytochrome P-450cam catalyzes the hydroxylation of camphor to 5-exo-hydroxycamphor with 100% stereospecificity, norcamphor is hydroxylated by this enzyme yielding 45% 5-exo-, 47% 6-exo-, and 8% 3-exo-hydroxynorcamphor (Atkins, W.M., Sligar, S.G., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 109:3754-3760, 1987). The present study

Recombinant Escherichia coli cells expressing monooxygenases of different bacterial origin were evaluated in microbial Baeyer-Villiger oxidations of racemic fused ketones. During the enzymatic oxidation process, both the "normal" lactone generated by migration of the more-substituted carbon atom and/or the "abnormal"
