Abstract excerpt
The potential of flavocytochrome P450 BM3 (CYP102A1) from Bacillus megaterium for biocatalysis and biotechnological application is widely acknowledged. The catalytic and structural analysis of the Ala82Phe mutant of P450 BM3 has shown that filling a hydrophobic pocket near the active site improved the binding of small molecules, such as indole (see Huang et al., J. Mol. Biol., 2007, 373, 633) and styrene. In this...
