Abstract excerpt
Although CYP2C9 and CYP2C19 display 91% sequence identity at the amino acid level, the two enzymes have distinct substrate specificities for compounds such as diclofenac, progesterone and (S)-mephenytoin. Amino acid substitutions in CYP2C9 were made based on an alignment of CYP2C9, CYP2C19 and monkey CYP2C43 sequences. Mutants of CYP2C9 were expressed in Escherichia coli. Sixteen amino acids, which are common to...
