Several crystal structures of various substrate and inhibited complexes of the camphor monoxygenase, cytochrome P450 cam from Pseudomonas putida , are now available. These structures, together with mutagenesis, biochemical, and biophysical studies, have allowed for a detailed penetration into the problem of how P450s activate molecular oxygen, control stereoselectivity, and transfer electrons. This review will provide a summary of the crystallographic work in light of what these structures have taught us about P450 function.—Poulos, T. L.; Raag, R.
