Abstract Recent progress on material designs merged with nanotechnology and biotechnology strategies has advanced studies of complex biological samples on electrodes for cytochrome P450 (CYP)–driven biocatalytic reactions (e.g. liver membrane fractions, cells, and various organ-specific CYP extracts). In addition, protein engineering of CYP enzymes with their reductase partner in membranes (e.g. baculovirus- or Escherichia coli bacteria–expressed CYP microsomes) and other recombinant strategies (e.g. engineered CYP and reductase fusion domains and site-directed CYP mutagenesis) are promising sustainable approaches for offering abundant sources of CYP enzymes for electrocatalytic applications. The combination of in silico and experimental electroanalytical methods with hyphenated approaches and biological assays can offer early and rigorous profiling of new drugs and specialty chemicals for safe exposure and beneficial use.
