Abstract

The Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes metabolize a variety of drugs, which may potentially lead to toxicity or reduced efficacy when drugs are co-administered. These drug-drug interactions are often manifested by CYP3A4, the most prevalent of all CYP isozymes. We carried out multiple MD simulations employing CAVER to quantify the channels, and Hidden Markov Models (HMM) to characterize the behavior of the gating residues. We discuss channel properties, bottleneck residues with respect to their likelihood to deem the respective channel ingress or egress, gating residues regarding their open or closed states, and channel location relative to the membrane. Channels do not display coordinated motion and randomly transition between different conformations. Gateway residues also behave in a random fashion. Our findings shed light on the equilibrium behavior of the gating residues and channels in the apo state.
