Popis: Cytochrome P450 cam oxidizes styrene to styrene oxide and a trace of phenylacetaldehyde; cis-β-methylstyrene to cis-β-methylstyrene oxide, cis-3-phenyl-2-propen-1-ol, and a trace of 1-phenyl-2-propanone; and trans-β-methylstyrene to trans-β-methylstyrene oxide, trans-3-phenyl-2-propen-1-ol, and a trace of 1-phenyl-2-propanone. Aromatic ring hydroxylation is also observed as a very minor process with each of the three substrates. Benzaldehyde is formed as a major product in all the reactions, but its formation is due to oxidation of the olefins by the H 2 O 2 produced by uncoupled turnover of the enzyme
