TABLE 1.
Distance of the center of mass and of the nearest atom from the CO binding axis in the CO-bound and CO-free P450cam complexes with camphor and norcamphor
Substrate | CO | Center of mass (Å) | Nearest atom (Å) |
---|---|---|---|
Camphor | Bound | 3.53 | 1.51 (C10) |
Absent | 2.86 | 1.19 (C6) | |
Norcamphor
|
Bound | 3.75 | 2.90 (C5) |
Absent | 3.58 | 1.89 (C5) |
The change of the camphor's nearest atom reflects clearly the rotation of the substrate.
