In chemical terms, the regio-and stereoselective hydroxylation of hydrocarbon CH bonds is a very difficult transformation. Nevertheless, these reactions are deftly catalyzed by a variety of metalloenzymes, among which the most diverse are the many members of the cytochrome P450 family. Cytochrome P450 enzymes are found in most classes of organisms, including bacteria, fungi, plants, insects, and mammals. Thousands of such proteins are now known (http://drnelson. utmem. edu/cytochromeP450. html), including 57 in the human genome, 1 20 in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, 2 272 in Arabidopsis, 3 and the amazing number of 457 in rice. 4 The nomenclature for these enzymes is based on their sequence similarity when appropriately aligned, a somewhat arbitrary similarity cutoff (approximately> 40% identity) being used to define members of a family and a higher cutoff (approximately> 55% identity) members of a subfamily. 5 Thus CYP3A4 corresponds to the fourth enzyme in family 3, subfamily A. This nomenclature allows the naming of enzymes without regard to their origin or specific properties. The mammalian, plant, and fungal proteins are commonly membrane bound and are relatively difficult to manipulate, but the bacterial proteins are usually soluble, monomeric proteins. For that reason, much of the early research on mechanisms of cytochrome P450 enzymes was carried out with bacterial enzymes, particularly with the prototypical enzyme CYP101 (P450cam) from Pseudomonas putida. 6, 7 From a chemist’s point of view, there is a particular interest in the thermophilic enzymes, which currently include CYP119, 8-10 P450st, 11 CYP174A1, 12 and CYP231A2. 13 The thermal stability of these enzymes makes them attractive starting points for the development of industrially useful catalysts. In this context, particular attention has also focused on CYP102 (P450BM3), a self-sufficient enzyme from Bacillus megaterium in which the flavoprotein protein required for transfer of electrons from NADPH is fused to the hemoprotein. 14 The resulting simplicity and high catalytic rate have led to extensive efforts to engineer this protein for practical catalytic purposes. 15-19 Although these proteins have properties that make them particularly attractive for engineering purposes, the large reservoir of P450 enzymes that collectively catalyze an astounding diversity of reactions suggests that P450 catalysis will develop into a highly useful technology.The cytochrome P450 enzymes are defined by the presence in the proteins of a heme (iron protoporphyrin IX) prosthetic group coordinated on the proximal side by a thiolate ion. 20, 21 This feature gives rise to the spectroscopic signature that defines these enzymes, as the thiolate-ligated ferrous-CO complex is characterized by a Soret absorption maximum at∼ 450 nm. 21 A thiolate-coordinated heme group is present
