title: Are branched chain fatty acids the natural substrates for P450(BM3)?
abstract: Branched chain fatty acids are substrates for cytochrome P450(BM3) (CYP102) from Bacillus megaterium; oxidation of C15 and C17 iso and anteiso fatty acids by P450(BM3) leads to the formation of hydroxylated products that possess high levels of regiochemical and stereochemical purity.
