title: [Enrichment of cytochrome P-450 in human liver microsomes by the action of proteases].
abstract: Human liver microsomes have been partially enriched in cytochrome P450 using a simple and rapid method. Microsomes were digested with protease XXVII (40 micrograms/nmole cyt. P450), then incubated with CHAPS, a zwitterionic detergent (25 mg/nmole cyt. P450) in combination with 0.07% protamine sulfate and the solubilized cyt. P450 was separated by ultracentrifugation. By this method, about 35% of total microsomal protein was solubilized with more than 80% of cyt. P450. This technique increases the specific activity of cyt. P450 by three fold.
