Abstract:
The study demonstrates that CPR and P450 3A4 can be prepared to highly pure state by the use of detergent CHAPS. Optimisation of published methods led to pure flavoprotein, ~90% full-length with a small amount of truncated CPR. The reconstitution of CPR and P450 3A4 into liposomes using CHAPS and Superose 6 column purification has achieved a homogenous highly functional proteoliposomes with good catalytic activity and almost completely reducible P450 3A4 in a simple controllable system. The spectroscopic data has shown that reduction of P450 3A4 in proteoliposomes was at least 10 fold higher t

This thesis describes a study of the substrate selectivity of active site mutants of the monooxygenase cytochrome P450<sub>cam</sub>.

These mutants were then tested with an in vitro reconstituted P450<sub>cam</sub> system with a range of substrates rel

Cytochromes P450 (P450s) are a superfamily of heme-thiolate monooxygenases. They catalyse a wide variety of reactions on a vast number of substrates and are of particular interest for biocatalyst development due to their ability to oxidise non-activated C-H bonds. Fusion of a P450 to a suitable redox partner protein produces a catalytically self-sufficient enzyme and removes the need to produce electron transfer proteins separately. The well-studied bacterial protein P450cam (Pseudomonas putida) has been fused to the reductase (RhFRed) from the natural fusion protein P450-RhF (Rhodococcus sp.)

Abstract:
L'exposition humaine aux contaminants environnementaux est inévitable du fait de leur présence dans l'eau, l'air et l'alimentation. La plupart d'entre eux sont reconnus comme étant mutagènes et/ou carcinogènes chez l'animal mais ils sont souvent seulement suspectés de l'être chez l'Homme. Le manque de connaissance vis-à-vis des substances chimiques a conduit l'UE à lancer le programme REACH avec l'objectif d'évaluer la toxicité d'environ 30 000 molécules. Cette évaluation nécessiterait l'utilisation de plus de 4 millions d'animaux et la pertinence controversée de ces modèles pourrait aboutir à

Abstract:
The cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYPs) are very attractive biocatalysts because of their ability to regio- and stereo-selectively catalyze the insertion of a single atom of molecular oxygen into inactivated C-H bonds. There are many drawbacks, however, limiting the use of these enzymes in organic synthesis, including the need for expensive cofactors, low stability, and low tolerance to organic solvents. The goal of this thesis was to overcome some of these drawbacks for human CYP2D6. This isoform was selected because of its broad substrate promiscuity and high importance in drug metabolism.<br>We
