Functioning of drug-metabolizing microsomal cytochrome P450s: In silico probing of proteins suggests that the distal heme ‘active site’ pocket plays a relatively ‘passive role’ in some enzyme-substrate interactions

PURPOSE: The currently held mechanistic understanding of microsomal cytochrome P450s (CYPs) seeks that diverse drug molecules bind within the deep-seated distal heme pocket and subsequently react at the heme centre. To explain a bevy of experimental observations and meta-analyses, we indulge a hypot...
