title: Spectroscopic evidence for the formation of a transient species during cytochrome P-450scc induced hydroperoxysterol-glycol conversions.
abstract: Spectroscopic analysis of the interaction of the epimeric 20-hydroperoxy derivatives of cholesterol with bovine adrenocortical cytochrome P-450scc preparations suggested the formation of a transient species. The intermediate was detected at 4 degrees C and characterized by a minimum at 412 nm in the difference spectrum.
