Abstract excerpt
Isotope effect experiments provide a powerful tool for study of the fundamental aspects of the enzymology of the cytochrome P450 enzymes. Competition between alternate pathways not only allows P450 isotope effects to be observed, but also provides mechanistic information on both oxygen activation and substrate oxidation. Indeed, the kind of knowledge that isotope effect studies can provide is not readily...
