- Asymmetric dimer <br>
Cytochrome P450 exists as an asymmetric dimer. Two molecules of 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin, which is used to dissolve vitamin D3, are found near the dimer interface. The dimeric interface of cytochrome 450 is additionally stabilized by electrostatic interactions between the <font color='red'>C terminus</font> of the G helix of one molecule (Arg259 and Asp255) with the <font color='blue'>N terminus</font> residues of the F helix of the second molecule (Asp206 and His209) and vice versa.
- Consists of α-helices, β-sheets (mostly on one side of the molecule) with a heme buried inside the protein <br>
- Two molecules of 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin are found near the dimer interface <br>
