Abstract excerpt
Heme oxygenase (HO) catalyzes the O(2)- and NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase-dependent conversion of heme to biliverdin, Fe, and CO through a process in which the heme participates both as a prosthetic group and as a substrate. In the present study, we have generated a detailed reaction cycle for the first monooxygenation step of HO catalysis, conversion of the heme to alpha-meso-hydroxyheme. We employed EPR...
