Abstract excerpt
The inactivation of cytochrome P450 2B4 by aldehydes in a reconstituted enzyme system requires molecular oxygen and NADPH and is not prevented by the addition of catalase, superoxide dismutase, epoxide hydrolase, glutathione, or ascorbic acid. A strong correlation between loss of enzymatic activity and bleaching of the heme chromophore was established, and the inactivation was shown to be irreversible upon...
