title: Kinetics of elementary steps in the cytochrome P-450 reaction sequence. I. Substrate binding to cytochrome P-450 LM.
abstract: The substrate binding step in the reaction sequence of the cytochrome P-450 enzyme system (rat liver microsomes) has been investigated. The type I/II substrate classification kinetically holds too. The rate constants are in the 10(3) to 10(5) (M-1 sec-1) range, the type I compounds are preferably bound by about one order of magnitude. The rate constants of the binding process to the reduced cytochrome are considerably decreased. The results favour the ordered reaction mechanism.
