| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, the relationship between enzyme activity and structural changes of P450cam after its modification was evaluated with compounds of different properties. We revealed the existence of a new mode for P450 activity decrease after conjugation, which was distinct from a well-known inactivation mode for the conversion of P450 to the inactive P420 form. In this new mode, the activity decreased due to a reduction in binding or accessibility of a substrate to the heme pocket of P450cam. This obtained knowledge will help to guide designs for the allosteric regulation of P450cam activity for industrial and biotechnological applications.
