[[Cytochrome P450]] (P450) catalyzes the oxidation of organic substances like lipids.  catalyzes the oxidation of organic substances like lipids.  The P450 contains a heme cofactor.  The protein is numbered by its gene.  P450cam, also known as camphor 5-monooxygenase, catalyzes the hydroxylation of camphor. P450nor is a Nitric Oxide Reductase P450.  P450epoK converts epothilone D to epothilone B.  P450cin monooxygenates 1,8-cineole which is similar to camphor. The images at the left and at the right correspond to one representative P450, ''i.e.'' the crystal structure of human P4502 ([[2f9q]]).
