“…In the reaction of 3, CYP154C4-2 showed complete conversion to 2-OH-TST (mixture of 2α and 2β), and CYP154C4-1 produced a few byproducts, while CYP154C4-1 was more tightly bound to 3 than CYP154C4-2. [81] To date, several crystal structures of the CYP154C subfamily have been solved, such as CYP154C5steroid (26, 1, 2, 3) structures, [78] substrate-free CYP154C4 and in complex with 3, [81] substrate-free CYP154C2, [76] and the crystal structure of CYP154C1 closely related to CYP154C5 [82] that can be used as general model for the substrate-free CYP154C5 structure. All of them contain a larger hydrophobic region corresponding to the backbone of the steroids and show a relatively narrow and closed substrate pocket, likely contributing to its strict substrate selectivity.…”
