Abstract excerpt
CYP4A11, the principal known human fatty acid omega-hydroxylase, has been expressed as a polyhistidine-tagged protein and purified to homogeneity. Based on an alignment with P450BM-3, the CYP4A11 L131F mutant has been constructed and similarly expressed. The two proteins are spectroscopically indistinguishable, but wild-type CYP4A11 primarily catalyzes omega-hydroxylation, and the L131F mutant only omega-1...
