1.	Infections 09/01/2003 - "Coexpression of CYP6B1 and P450 reductase at equivalent viral concentrations [MOI (multiplicity of infection) ratio of 1] results in turnover rates for the linear furanocoumarins xanthotoxin and psoralen, which are increased 32-33 fold over the turnover rates obtained with CYP6B1 expressed alone.
