Abstract excerpt
17α-Hydroxyprogesterone (17α-OHP) is a steroid hormone with significant biological activity that can be obtained by catalyzing progesterone (PROG), the main product of sitosterol, through CYP17A1. However, increasing the catalytic specificity of HCYP17A1 for C17 hydroxylation of progesterone (PROG) poses a formidable challenge due to the close proximity of the C16 and C17 positions. In this study, a rational...
