Abstract excerpt
In recent studies, the wild-type and mutant forms of cytochrome P450 (P450) BM3 (CYP102A1) from Bacillus megaterium were found to metabolize various drugs through reactions similar to those catalyzed by human P450 enzymes. Therefore, it was suggested that CYP102A1 can be used to produce large quantities of the metabolites of human P450-catalyzed reactions. trans-Resveratrol (3,4',5-trihydroxystilbene), an...
