Cytochrome P450 2A13 is a lung specific enzyme known to activate the potent tobacco procarcinogen 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) into two carcinogenic metabolites. CYP2A13 has been crystallized and X-ray diffraction experiments illuminated the structure of this enzyme, but with an unknown ligand present in the enzyme active site.
