High-Throughput Functional Screening of Steroid Substrates with Wild-Type and Chimeric P450 Enzymes

The promiscuity of a collection of enzymes consisting of 31 wild-type and synthetic variants of CYP1A enzymes was evaluated using a series of 14 steroids and 2 steroid-like chemicals, namely, nootkatone, a terpenoid, and mifepristone, a drug.
