[Computer modeling the cytochrome P450 three-dimensional structure: problems and prospects]
Abstract
The review is devoted to the description of basic approaches, problems and prospects of computer modelling of 3D structures of cytochromes P450 (P450s). The following questions have been are considered in the review: (1) the role of computer molecular modelling in P450s research; (2) basic stages of homology modelling of protein 3D structures; (3) purposes and tasks of molecular modelling; (4) problems of P450s homology modelling; (5) criteria for successful P450s homology modelling; (6) methods of P450s models refinement, verification of correctness and reliability.
