Abstract excerpt
The structural basis for the cooperativity of diazepam oxidation catalyzed by human cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) and 40 mutants has been investigated. An ordered two-site model in which substrates bind first to a catalytic/effector site and then to the catalytic site was used to explain sigmoidal kinetics for temazepam formation but hyperbolic kinetics for nordiazepam formation. In this model diazepam binds to...
