Abstract

Cytochrome P450s catalyze various types of oxidative reactions involved in steroid biosynthesis, the metabolism of fatty acids, and the detoxification of xenobiotic compounds.[1] Most of the reactions are monooxygenase-type NADPH/NADH-and O2- dependent ones, but when the endoperoxide (EP) isomerizing P450 works as a prostacyclin synthase or thromboxane synthase it is neither NADPH/NADH-nor O2-dependent, and is ...
