The cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP203A1 from Rhodopseudomonas palustris binds a wide range of highly substituted aromatic compounds and may play an important role in the astonishing metabolic diversity of this organism. Crystals of CYP203A1 that diffract to 2.0 Å resolution have been obtained. Cytochrome P450 enzymes constitute a large family of haemoproteins that catalyze the monooxygenation of a great variety of endogenous and exogenous organic compounds. Cytochrome P450 203A1 (CYP203A1, RPA1009) from the metabolically versatile organism Rhodopseudomonas palustris binds a broad range of substrates, in particular substituted aromatic compounds. Crystals of CYP203A1 suitable for X-ray crystallography have been obtained and diffraction data were collected in-house to 2.0 Å resolution from a single crystal. The crystals belong to space group P222, with unit-cell parameters a = 40.1, b = 95.1, c = 99.0 Å, α = β = γ = 90°. There is one protein molecule per asymmetric unit.
