Changes in ESR signals from the active form of cyt P-450 in mouse liver samples after administration of some nitro compounds were studied by the ESR method. It is shown that administration of nitro compounds leads to the formation of nitrosyl cyt P-450-NO complexes and a decrease in the ESR signal from cyt P-450 within the first 1-2 h after administration, indicating the inhibition of enzyme activity. It is assumed the nitro compounds induced inhibition of cyt P-450 in the first hours after administration is responsible for the enhancement by imidazoles of the effect of some chemotherapeutic drugs.

The catalytic activity of cytochrome P450 2B4 (CYP2B4) is moderated by its cognate redox partner cytochrome b5 (Cyt-b). The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane and intermolecular transmembrane (TM) interaction between CYP2B4 and Cyt-b regulate the substrate catalysis and the reaction rate. This emphasizes the significance of elucidating the molecular basis of CYP2B4 and Cyt-b complexation in a membrane environment to better understand the enzymatic activity of CYP2B4.

Centaurea is a genus of winter weeds with a similar life cycle and competitive traits, which occurs in small-grains production fields in the central-southern of the Iberian Peninsula. However, most of herbicides recommended for weed management in wheat show poor control of Centaurea species. This study summarizes the biology, herbicide tolerance to acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitors, and recommended chemical alternatives for the control of Centaurea species.

Terpenoids are the most important natural products collected from conifer species. However, the molecular mechanisms and core factors underlying terpenoid biosynthesis in Pinus massoniana remain unclear. To clarify these mechanisms, this study aimed to identify potential genes that might participate in the terpenoid biosynthesis of P.
