Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes are a family of enzymes that are encoded by the P450 genes. These enzymes are membrane bound hemoproteins. that are mainly found in the liver’s endoplasmic reticulum.
A 96-well microplate-based HPLC endpoint assay is described for the determination of NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR) activity. Novel sampling of NADPH into microplates was optimized. Separation was performed on a Zorbax Eclipse XDB-C₁₈ analytical 4.6 × 150 mm, 5 µm column. To validate the
The cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes are membrane-bound hemoproteins that play a pivotal role in the detoxification of xenobiotics, cellular metabolism and homeostasis. Induction or inhibition of CYP enzymes is a major mechanism that underlies drug-drug interactions. CYP enzymes can be

Intracellular carbon monoxide (CO) is a gaseous signaling molecule and is generated enzymatically by heme oxygenases upon degradation of heme to billiverdin. Target structures for intracellular produced CO are heme proteins including cytochrome c oxidase of the respiratory chain, cytochrome

Next to its well-studied toxicity, carbon monoxide (CO) is recognized as a signalling molecule in various cellular processes. Thus, CO-releasing molecules (CORMs) are of considerable interest for basic research and drug development. Aim of the present study was to investigate
