Olve any adventitious metal species outside of the P450 active internet site and will not involve the diffusion of reactive oxygen species, other than the product H2O2, out of the active web page.VII) Role of Oxygen in the Borneol CycleThe reaction path taken by P450cam (camphor oxidation vs. borneol cycle, Fig. 1b) is controlled by oxygen concentration. Oxygen could exert its impact in two strategies: 1) by affecting the interaction of P450 with its redox partners, or two) by directly interacting with P450. Our benefits demonstrate that the former can not be the case, because the impact was seen inside the absence of PdX and PdR (Table 1). Therefore, P450cam need to bind O2 not only for catalysis, but also for allosteric regulation.Lately, cytochrome P450 2E1 has been shown to kind endoperoxide rearrangement products when reacted with 1,1,two,2tetramethylcyclopropane [32]. This suggests that there have to be O2 bound in that enzyme near the active internet site, which reacts using the rearranged radical formed by Hatom abstraction from 1,1,two,2tetramethylcyclopropane. Cytochromes P450 are identified to be allosterically regulated by their substrates or cosubstrates [33]. Studies with other O2utilizing enzymes, for instance diiron monooxygenases [34], laccase [35] and amine oxidase [36] have revealed that O2 could be bound in hydrophobic tunnels that happen to be separated from the access channel for the other substrates of those enzymes. In P450cam, a hydrophobic O2 entry channel and two O2 binding cavities have already been identified in Xetreated crystals [37]. Two Xe atoms are bound close to the porphyrin edge in a hydrophobic pocket lined by F163, A167, heme allyl, I220, A219, C242 and L245. The other two Xe atoms appear bound within a crevasse lined by L371, T370, L257, M261, water and S260 (1st Xe) and I275, K372, T376, L375, L371, P278 and I281 (second Xe). This O2 binding web page in P450cam is situated close to the edge of the porphyrin, close to the water channel (Fig. 6 and 1 A. and B). We have found a hydrophobic tunnel in P450cam that consists of the Xe binding web pages, making use of MOLEonline 2.0 [38] around the structure believed to represent the P450cam oxo complicated (1DZ9). The binding sites are excellent candidates for O2 binding simply because they are hydrophobic and distinct from the substrate access route [11,37]. Also, the websites are great candidates for allosteric regulation of P450 simply because they are near the plane in the porphyrin.
