title: Localization of the active center of microsomal cytochrome P-450.
abstract: To solve the problem of localization of the active center of cytochrome P-450 in microsomal membranes, new bifunctional compounds (I-IV), which contain pyridine radical, aliphatic chain of variable length and diphosphonic acid ("floating" molecules) have been applied. These compounds inhibit oxidation and binding of the substrates of cytochrome P-450 (aminopyrine and aniline), inhibition being of a competitive character. Measurements of distribution coefficients between water and membranes of microsomes and liposomes from egg phosphatidylcholine evidence that the microsomal proteins are necessary for providing effective interaction of I-IV with microsomal membrane. The 1H-NMR method has demonstrated compounds to be incorporated into lipid bilayer so that the non-polar part is in the inner membrane volume. The results obtained confirm our previous conclusion (Krainev A.G., Weiner L.M., Alferyev I.S., Slynko N.M. (1985) Biochim. Biophys. Acta, 818, 96-104) about localization of the active center of microsomal cytochrome P-450 at the depth of approximately 18 A from the hydrophilic surface of a membrane.
