Different metalloproteins need different redox potential for their function. Cytochrome
P450 needs to access the unusual oxidation state Fe(V) to be able to oxidize even
unreactive substrates. Therefore, it uses the negatively charged cysteine ligand which
donates electrons to Fe and stabilizes the high oxidation state. One of strategies that
proteins employ to modify the redox potential is using different proximal ligands.
Examples of Cytochrome P450 substrates
Hydroxylation at:
-aliphatic carbons
-aromatic carbons
-double bonds
-heteroatoms
local anesthetic
steroid hormone
carcinogen from fungi
antibiotic
Alkaloid from Taxus brevifolia, potent anti-cancer drug
Cytochrome P450cam (Campher-5-monooxygenase; pdb-code 1T86)

Conclusion
In many cases, metalloproteins use the same or similar active site
for different purposes.
The strategies to confer a particular activity to a given site include
- Allowing/disallowing access of substrates to the active site
(including the dynamics of diffusion of substrate/product)
-Modifying the electrostatic potential by mutating the amino acids
coordinated to the metal or surrounding the binding pocket
Practical training
- Download from the pdb database the structures of bacterial cytochrome
P450cam 1t86 and 1dz8
http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/home/home.do
- Display the structures using VMD
- Use the command „chain A“ in Graphics/Representation“ to display only the
monomer A
- Use the command „chain A and resname HEM“ in
Graphics/Representation“ to highlight the heme group
- Observe whether the two crystal structures contain the campher and/or
oxygen molecule trapped near the active site
- Use the command „chain A and resname CAM“ in
Graphics/Representation“ to highlight the campher molecule
-Use the command „chain A and resname OXY“ in Graphics/Representation“
to highlight the O2 molecule
- Examine how the two carboxylate groups of heme are anchored in the
protein backbone
- Examine how the campher substrate is fixed in the acess channel
