Which one of the following statements about cytochrome P-450 is wrong? [1998]

Detailed Solution for 31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Photosynthesis in Higher Plants - 2 - Question 14

Cytochrome P450 (CyP) is a host of enzymes that use iron to oxidize, often as part of the body's strategy to dispose of potentially harmful substances making them more water-soluble. These are found in plants, animals, and microbes and are involved in a variety of oxidative reactions in cells. These catalyse a variety of reactions including epoxidation, /V-dialkylation,o-dialkylation,.v-oxidation and hydroxylation. A typical cytochrome P450 catalyzed reactions is

NADPH + H+ + O2 + RH → NADP- + H20 + R - OH
