Kinetic parameters for dextromethorphan O-demethylation catalyzed by wild and mutant types of CYP2D6 expressed in E. coli membranes

Dextromethorphan (3.5-2000 μM) was incubated with membrane fractions prepared from genetically engineered E. coli. Kinetic parameters were calculated by nonlinear regression analysis. Each value represents the mean ± S.D. from three determinations.
