Binding of pyridine and imidazole derivatives and benzphetamine to P450 2B6dH and L264F

Standard errors for fit to the respective equations are shown. The high-affinity ligands (4-NBP, 4-BP, 4-PI, and 4-CPI) were fit to the tight binding equation, whereas the low-affinity ligands (BEI, 1-BI, and BP) were fit to the Hill equation, as described under Materials and Methods. Results are representative of at least two independent determinations. The variation between the experiments is ≤10%.
