The oxidation of naphthalene and pyrene by cytochrome P450cam.
Mutants of the heme monooxygenase cytochrome P450cam in which Y96 had been replaced with hydrophobic residues, have been shown to oxidise naphthalene and pyrene with rates one to two orders of magnitude faster than the wild-type. Naphthalene was oxidised to 1- and 2-naphthol, probably via the 1,2-ox...
