Some eukaryotic cytochromes P450 (P450s) have a series of ionic amino acids, corresponding to Lys250, Arg251, and Lys253 residues in the P450 1A2 sequence. To understand the roles of those ionic amino acids in the catalytic function of P450, three

This paper describes the utilisation of methoxy-resorufin ether as an electrochemical probe for studying cytochrome P450 CYP6G1. Methoxy-resorufin ether is well established as a versatile substrate for cytochrome P450, as its demethylated product, resorufin, is a fluorophore. We show that
