Abstract excerpt
Incubation of phenyldiazene (PhN = NH) with lanosterol 14 alpha-demethylase, a cytochrome P-450 enzyme (CYP51) that oxidatively removes the 14 alpha-methyl group of lanosterol, results in the appearance of a 478-nm band indicative of phenyl-iron complex formation. In situ oxidation of the phenyl-iron complex by ferricyanide yields exclusively the N-phenylprotoporphyrin IX regioisomer with the phenyl group on the...
