Abstract
The cytochrome P450 (CYP) family contains 57 enzymes in humans. The activity of CYPs against xenobiotics is a primary consideration in drug optimization efforts. Here we describe a series of bioluminescent assays that enable the rapid profiling of CYP activity against compound collections. The assays employ a coupled-enzyme format where firefly luciferase is used to measure CYP enzyme activity through metabolism of pro-luciferase substrates.Entities:
