Abstract excerpt
A conserved threonine found in the majority of cytochromes P450 (P450s) has been implicated in the activation of dioxygen during the catalytic cycle. P450(cin) (CYP176A) has been found to be an exception to this paradigm, where the conserved threonine has been replaced with an asparagine. Prior studies with a P450(cin) N242A mutant established that the Asn-242 was not a functional replacement for the conserved...
