In experiment 1, cytochrome b5 (0.020 μM) purified from E. coli membranes or from liver microsomes was added to CYP3A4/NPR membranes (0.010 μM P-450 and 0.020 μM NPR). In experiment 2, other proteins (0.010 μM) were added to CYP3A4/NPR membranes. Apo b5 and CYP1A2 were prepared from rabbit liver b5 and E. coli membranes expressing human CYP1A2, respectively. Results are presented as means ± S.D. of duplicate or triplicate determinations.
