title: Interaction of cytochrome P-450scc with cytochrome b5.
abstract: Spectrophotometric, affinity chromatography and cross-linking experiments provided evidence that cytochrome P-450scc from bovine adrenocortical mitochondria forms a tight complex with cytochrome b5 from rabbit liver microsomes. In the reconstituted system cholesterol side chain activity of cytochrome P-450scc was enhanced by the addition of cytochrome b5.
