The paper covers the identification of specific electron transfer protein i.e. ferredoxin and ferredoxin reductase for CYP105D7 activity from Streptomyces avermitilis MA4680. The work is relevant in the field of Biotechnology, especially in the Cytochrome P450 enzymology.
Dr. Pandey has used several approaches like in-vitro reconstitution, gene disruption, and quantitative reverse transcription poly-merase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) for mRNA expression profile analysis of ferredoxin and ferredoxin reductase. Through his findings he has proposed the pathway for CYP105D7 activity, which follows NAD(P)H→FdxH→FprD→CYP105D7.
