Abstract

Cytochromes P450s have been investigated as drug targets for anticancer prodrugs (to be activated by P450 only in cancer cells). Current investigation involves mutating a well-studied P450 BM-3 to mimic the chemistry of CYP2S1. We tested different structured substrates and saw the enzymatic activity is affected when an acidic residue in the oxygen binding pocket is mutated to a methionine.
