Typical Batch Characteristics
P450 Concentration: 6 nmol/ml
Protein Concentration: 12 mg/ml
Cytochrome b5 Concentration:
30 nmol/ml
Specific P450 Content:
500 pmol/mg protein
Cytochrome c Reductase Activity:
800 nmol/min/mg protein
Typical P450 Activity Data (1)
Activity: Paclitaxel 6α-hydroxylase
Linear with time up to: 6 min
Linear with P450 up to: 40 pmol/ml
Vmax: 5 pmol/min/pmol CYP
Km: 4 µM
Typical P450 Activity Data (2)
Activity: Tolbutamide 4-hydroxylase
Linear with time up to: 12 min
Linear with P450 up to:
100 pmol/ml
Vmax: 3 pmol/min/pmol CYP
Km: 1100 µM (see note below)
Note: The kinetic parameters given above were determined using tolbutamide concentrations from 40 – 500 µM, as the limit of solubility is reported to be around 740 µM. The margin of error is therefore likely to be high. The tolbutamide 4-hydroxylase activity of CYP2C8BR Bactosomes at 500 µM tolbutamide is approximately 1.2 pmol/min/pmol CYP.
