✦ Synopsis
In this study, it is shown that an electron from photoreduced tris(2,2'-bipyridyl)Ru2+ ion reaches the haem iron of engineered wild-type cytochrome P450 1A2 (P450 1A2) with an electron transfer rate of 6.04 x 10(-3) min(-1). The electron transfer rate, 4.05 x 10(-2) min(-1), of a His163Glu mutant, which has a redox potential 40 mV lower than that of the wild type, is more than sixfold faster than that of the wild type. The photoinduced electron transfer rates of the present system are strongly influenced by detergents, cholic acid and Emulgen 913. We discuss the intermolecular and intramolecular electron transfer mechanism of the P450 1A2 system based on the kinetic data.
