The transfer of cholesterol and hydroxycholesterol derivatives from liposome to soluble cytochrome P-450 scc
Published in Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA)/Lipids and Lipid Metabolism
We have studied the cholesterol-binding reaction with purified steroid-free cytochrome P-450 scc . By mixing an aqueous solution of cholesterol-, pregnenolone- and progesterone-free cytochrome with cholesterol-containing liposomes, the low to high spin conversion of the hemoprotein was observed spectrophotometrically and by electron spin resonance ...
