Abstract
It is now well established that many reagents can modify the cytochrome P-450 spectrum. These modifications are produced. by the interaction of ligands with hemoprotein or the iron of the heme prosthetic group (13). The modified cytochrome P-450 difference spectra have been classified as Type I if the induced maximum in the Soret region is at 390 nm and the minimum at 420 nm, as reverse Type I if the positions of the maximum and minimum are reversed, and as Type II if the maximum and minimum are reversed and both shifted by 5 to 10 nm to the red end of the spectrum (12).
