Cytochromes P450 in Nanodiscs [PDF]
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Proteins and Proteomics, 2011 Nanodiscs have proven to be a versatile tool for the study all types of membrane proteins, including receptors, transporters, enzymes and viral antigens. The self-assembled Nanodisc system provides a robust and common means for rendering these targets soluble in aqueous media while providing a native like bilayer environment that maintains functional ...

Defective Cytochrome P450-Catalysed Drug Metabolism in Niemann-Pick Type C Disease. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Niemann-Pick type C (NPC) disease is a neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disease caused by mutations in either the NPC1 or NPC2 gene. NPC is characterised by storage of multiple lipids in the late endosomal/lysosomal compartment, resulting in cellular ...
