Linking of cytochrome P450<sub>cam</sub>and putidaredoxin by a co-ordination bridge
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Cytochrome P450cam (CYP101) catalyzes the oxidation of D(+)-camphor at the 5 position. The enzyme couples the reduction of dioxygen to the oxidation of the substrate. To transfer electrons from the reductant (NADH) to the cytochrome, two additional proteins are required. These are putidaredoxin (PdX) and putidaredoxin reductase (PdR). We have chemically linked a form of PdX with a histidine tag at the C-terminus to the P450. To accomplish this, we have modified cysteine 334 on P450 with a bipyridinyl group, and co-ordinated the C-terminal histidine tag of PdX by the addition of Ni2+ or Ru3+. The Ru3+ complex was the most stable. The non-linked system gave mostly 5-ketocamphor, a product of two consecutive hydroxylations, and H2O2, a product of 2-electron uncoupling. The Ni2+ complex gave both 5-exo-hydroxycamphor and 5-ketocamphor, but it also uncoupled. The Ru3+ complex gave a single product (5-exo-hydroxycamphor) and did not uncouple at the optimal PdR concentration. Our results are consistent with other studies of this system, in that strong binding of PdX to P450 is crucial for good coupling and for release of 5-exo-hydroxycamphor.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
