Why Are Liver Cell lines Not Sensitive to Cyclophosphamide?

Cyclophosphamide is supposed to be activated by Cytochrome P450. I've treated Huh7 and PLC liver cancer cell lines with Cytochrome P450, but there is no sensitivity whatsoever, even at 500uM....

Can an R-enantiomer specific enzyme be engineered for the S-enantiomer?

Many enzymes have preference for L versus D or R versus entiomers. Is there a precendent in the literature for changing, engineering by amino acid alteration, a D-selective into an L-selective enzyme?

Does anyone know what might be causing the smeared bands on my western blot?

I got these smeared bands quite often lately. We typically run the gel at 140V with a 10-12% gel and do a wet transfer at 220 mA for 1.5 hr in cold room. We also noticed some dirty spots/dots (see...
