Abstract excerpt
Cytochromes P450 are a ubiquitous group of hemoproteins that perform vital cellular reactions in all lifeforms. Until recently, it was thought that P450s contained non-covalently bound heme. However, it was established that covalent linkage of the heme macrocycle occurs naturally in one major group of the P450 superfamily. The reaction involves heme linkage to a conserved amino acid and is autocatalytic,...
