Visible spectra of type II cytochrome P450-drug complexes: evidence that “incomplete” heme coordination is common

CW Locuson, JM Hutzler, TS Tracy - Drug metabolism and disposition, 2007 - ASPET
The visible spectrum of a ligand-bound cytochrome P450 is often used to determine the nature
of the interaction between the ligand and the P450. One particularly characteristic form of …

Polymorphic variants of CYP2C9: mechanisms involved in reduced catalytic activity

L Wei, CW Locuson, TS Tracy - Molecular pharmacology, 2007 - ASPET
CYP2C9 catalyzes the demethylation of the biphasic kinetics substrate (S)-naproxen, and
the CYP2C9*2 (R144C) and CYP2C9*3 (I359L) variants are associated with lower rates of (S)-…

Differential roles of Arg97, Asp293, and Arg108 in enzyme stability and substrate specificity of CYP2C9

LJ Dickmann, CW Locuson, JP Jones, AE Rettie - Molecular pharmacology, 2004 - ASPET
CYP2C9 metabolizes a wide range of drugs, many of which are negatively charged at
physiological pH. Therefore, it has been thought that complementarily charged amino acid(s) are …

CYP2D6-CYP2C9 protein-protein interactions and isoform-selective effects on substrate binding and catalysis

M Subramanian, M Low, CW Locuson… - Drug metabolism and …, 2009 - ASPET
Cytochrome P450 (P450) protein-protein interactions have been observed with various in

CYP2C9 protein interactions with cytochrome b5: effects on the coupling of catalysis

CW Locuson, LC Wienkers, JP Jones… - Drug metabolism and …, 2007 - ASPET
The hemoprotein cytochrome b 5 (cyt b5) has been demonstrated to affect the kinetics of
drug oxidation by the microsomal cytochromes P450 (P450s). However, the mechanisms …
