title: Kinetics of elementary steps in the cytochrome P-450 reaction sequence. IV. Mechanism of the NADPH reduction reaction of cytochrome P-450LM.
abstract: The aerobic NADPH reduction of the Triton N-101 disintegrated cytochrome P-450LM system has been studied. At this organization level--the components being dispersed in solution--a first-order monophasic reaction is exhibited. Neither the complex formation of cytochrome and reductase, respectively, nor preceding diffusion is rate limiting. The initial rate follows the ratio reductase/P-450 (mole/mole) thus indicating a Michaelis-Menten type enzyme mechanism. A model treatment of the reaction fits the systems behaviour as a whole. A multiparameter equilibrium state and different specified time function equations were developed for the determination of individual step rate constants and other system parameters as well.
