Examples An important example is cytochrome c oxidase, the key enzyme that allows the body to employ oxygen in the generation of energy and the final component of the electron transfer chain.

The most sensitive targets of NO are aconitase, an enzyme that catalyzes the isomerization of citrate to isocitrate in the citric acid cycle, and cytochrome oxidase, the last enzyme in the respiratory electron transport chain of mitochondria.

One is coenzyme Q, and cytochrome C.

The glucose in the blood reacts with an enzyme electrode containing glucose oxidase (or dehydrogenase).

Gene The gene is located near two cytochrome P450 pseudogenes on chromosome 22q13.1.

So they release energy. Then they go to cytochrome C and release energy.

The enzyme was originally discovered by Mary Bernheim in the liver and was named tyramine oxidase.

This gene is part of a cluster of cytochrome P450 genes on chromosome 7q21.1.

Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) a deficiency in NADPH oxidase enzyme, which causes failure to generate oxygen radicals.

An example of a group of enzymes involved in xenobiotic metabolism is hepatic microsomal cytochrome P450.

You have the cytochrome B6F complex and I'll draw this in a different color right here.

But the thing about tryptamines is they cannot be taken orally because they're denatured by an enzyme found naturally in the human gut called monoamine oxidase.

Cytochrome P450 enzymes also function to metabolize potentially toxic compounds, including drugs and products of endogenous metabolism such as bilirubin, principally in the liver.

It receives an electron from each of four cytochrome c molecules, and transfers them to one oxygen molecule, converting molecular oxygen to two molecules of water.

Cytochrome P450 enzymes are present in most tissues of the body, and play important roles in hormone synthesis and breakdown (including estrogen and testosterone synthesis and metabolism), cholesterol synthesis, and vitamin D metabolism.

Based on the nature of the electron transfer proteins, CYPs can be classified into several groups Microsomal P450 systems in which electrons are transferred from NADPH via cytochrome P450 reductase (variously CPR, POR, or CYPOR).
