Abstract excerpt
Benzo(a)pyrene hydroxylation has been observed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the role of sterol 14 alpha-demethylase (CYP51A1) in this activity has been examined by using a strain which contains a gene disruption of CYP51A1. This strain still contained P450 protein(s) with a Soret absorption maximum at 448nm in reduced carbon monoxide difference spectra of the microsomal fraction. On addition of benzo(a)pyrene...
