Cytochrome P450Cam with Bound BIS(2,2'-BIPYRIDINE)-(5-METHYL-2-2'-BIPYRIDINE)-C2-ADAMANTANE RUTHENIUM (II)

OverviewOverview
Cytochromes P450 play key roles in drug metabolism and disease by, oxidizing a wide variety of natural and xenobiotic compounds., High-resolution crystal structures of P450cam bound to ruthenium, sensitizer-linked substrates reveal an open conformation of the enzyme, that allows substrates to access the active center via a 22-A deep, channel. Interactions of alkyl and fluorinated biphenyl linkers with the, channel demonstrate the importance of exploiting protein dynamics for, specific inhibitor design. Large changes in peripheral enzyme structure (F, and G helices) couple to conformational changes in active center residues, (I helix) implicated in proton pumping and dioxygen activation. Common, conformational states among P450cam and homologous enzymes indicate that, static and dynamic variability in the F/G helix region allows the 54 human, P450s to oxidize thousands of substrates.
