Abstract excerpt
The effects of benzyl (BITC) and phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC) on the activity of a P450 2E1 mutant where the conserved threonine at position 303 was replaced with an alanine residue (P450 2E1 T303A) were examined. PEITC inactivated the mutant enzyme with a K(I) of 1.6 microM. PEITC also inactivated the wild-type P450 2E1 as efficiently with a K(I) of 2.7 microM. The inactivation was entirely dependent on...
