Abstract excerpt
The oxy-ferrous complex of cytochrome P450 2B4 (2B4) has been prepared at -40 degrees C with and without bound substrate [butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT)] and radiolytically one-electron cryoreduced at 77 K. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) shows that in both cases the observed product of cryoreduction is the hydroperoxo-ferriheme species, indicating that the microsomal P450 contains an efficient...
