NADPH-cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (CYPOR) was shown to undergo large conformational rearrangements in its functional cycle. Using a new Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) approach based on femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy (TA), we determined the donor-acceptor distance distribution in the reduced and oxidized states of CYPOR. The unmatched time resolution of TA allowed the quantitative assessment of the donor-acceptor FRET, indicating that CYPOR assumes a closed conformatio ...[more]
