Applications of microbial cytochrome P450 enzymes in biotechnology and synthetic biology.

This article reviews recent research on the application of wild-type and engineered P450s in the production of important chemicals, including pharmaceuticals and drug metabolites, steroids and antibiotics. In addition, the properties of unusual members of the P450 superfamily that do not follow the canonical P450 catalytic pathway are described. PMID: 27015292 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
