Abstract excerpt
A highly conserved threonine in the I-helix of cytochrome P450s has been suggested to play an important role in dioxygen activation, a critical step for catalytic turnover. However, subsequent studies with some P450s in which this highly conserved threonine was replaced by another residue such as alanine showed that significant catalytic activities were still retained when the variants were compared with the wild...
