Cytochrome P450 cam
Cytochrome P450
camphor 5-monooxygenase
is a
bacterial
enzyme
originally from
Pseudomonas
putida
, which
catalyzes
a
critical
step
in the
metabolism
of
camphor
. In
1987
,
Cytochrome
P450cam was the first
cytochrome P450
three-dimensional protein structure
solved
by
X-ray crystallography
.
It is a
heterotrimeric
protein
derived
from the
products
of three genes: a
cytochrome
P450
enzyme, a Putidaredoxin complexed with
cofactors
2Fe-2S
, a NADH-dependent
Putidaredoxin reductase
.
