Flavonols possess antioxidant and free radical scavenging activity in foods, with myricetin being one of the most active. In plant, kaempferol converts to myricetin by 3’, 5’-hydroxylase which is cytochrome P450. The cytochrome P450s belong to a family of heme containing monooxygenases and catalyze diverse reaction, such as hydroxylation, epoxidation and O-demethylation. CYP102D1, bi-functional cytochrome P450:NADPH-P450 reductase, from Streptomyces avermitilis can hydroxylate the saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. First, three positions, which are L84A/F96V/L448A, were done saturation mutagenesis to increase the size of active site pocket and substrate access channel. Second, A273/G274/T277 was selected among the amino acid within 7Å from heme to saturated mutagenesis. For high throughput screening, aldehyde sensing method was applied with schiff’s test. Finally, we screened six CYP102 mutants towards permethylated kaempferol using schiff’s reagent agar plate assay and expressed.
