CYP17A1 binding structure
Biochemical assay · Purified, N-terminally modified human CYP17A1 expressed in E. coli; abiraterone complex (PDB 3RUK). [1]
The pyridyl nitrogen coordinates the heme iron, while the 3β-hydroxyl group interacts with Asn202. The steroid core lies about 60° above the heme plane.
