Dynamics and flexibility of human aromatase probed by FTIR and time resolved fluorescence spectroscopy.

Human aromatase (CYP19A1) is a steroidogenic cytochrome P450 converting androgens into estrogens. No ligand-free crystal structure of the enzyme is available to date. The crystal structure in complex with the substrate androstenedione and the steroidal inhibitor exemestane shows a very compact confo...
