Abstract excerpt
P450c17 (17alpha-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase) catalyzes steroid 17alpha-hydroxylase and 17,20-lyase activities in the biosynthesis of androgens and estrogens. These two activities are differentially regulated in a tissue-specific and developmentally programmed manner. To visualize the active site topology of human P450c17 and to study the structural basis of its substrate specificity and catalytic selectivity, we...
