CPR (NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase) is a multidomain protein containing two flavin-containing domains joined by a connecting domain thought to control the necessary movements of the catalytic domains during electronic cycles. We present a detailed biochemical analysis of two chimaeric CPRs composed of the association of human or yeast FMN with the alternative connecting/FAD domains. Despite t...
