| Abstract | As an approach to 'mapping' the active site of the cytochrome P-450 that catalyzes cholesterol side-chain cleavage, designated cytochrome P-450scc, we have synthesized steroid derivatives with the potential to interact with both the substrate binding site and the heme-iron catalytic site of the enzyme. The effects of these substrate analogs were studied with cytochrome P-450scc purified from bovine adrenal cortex. One derivative, 22-amino-23,24-bisnor-5-cholen-3 beta-ol, was found to be a potent inhibitor of pregnenolone formation in a reconstituted enzyme system, and a kinetic analysis of the inhibition showed that binding of the derivative is competitive with respect to cholesterol. The spectral properties of a stable complex formed between the steroidal amine and the purified cytochrome suggest that the 22-amine group coordinates directly to the heme-iron. A model for the structure of this inhibitor-enzyme complex is proposed in which the 5-androstene ring system of the steroid occupies the substrate binding site, and the amine group of the side chain occupies an axial coordination position of the Fe(III) center. This places limits on the distance between these two domains in the enzyme and offers support for proposed mechanisms of cytochrome P-450-catalyzed oxygen-insertion reactions in which an iron-bound oxidant directly attacks the substrate. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
