Abstract

NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase has been purified to homogeneity, as judged by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, from microsomal fraction of Lodderomyces elongisporus using an effective 2-step chromatography procedure. One mol enzyme contains 1 mol each of FAD and FMN and exhibits an apparent molecular weight of 79.000. Recombination of the NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase with highly purified cytochrome P-450 results in an active alkane monooxygenase system. The activity of the hexadecane hydroxylation was enhanced by the addition of non-ionic detergent.
