This prediction system is based on placements of CYP1A2-substrates on a hexagonal-grid template in a way following the rule generated from the relationship of the substrate-structure and selective-area uses on the template, and also the rule for a triggering-event to initiate the catalytic reactions. Clear relationship found between the placements and preferred-order of regioselective reactions from the comparison of experimental data of polyaromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-substrates was implemented in this system. The template generated is consisted of two flat-shape regions (Thin- and Thick-Areas) and Site of Oxidation. The latter is located at an overlapping region of Thin- and Thick-Areas and has a shape of cubic-like block. Thin-Area and Thick-Area are not on the same plane, and bend slightly at their overlapping parts. Two Entrances and two Gatekeepers are situated each near the top and middle bottleneck-parts of Thin-Area and Thick-Area to restrict the substrate entry. A procedure of stepwise movement of substrates resided on Thick-Area is introduced to define the regioselectivity. A specific part (termed Trigger-Region) showing high placement rates was found at a region away from Site of Oxidation on the template, assuming that substrate-sittings at Trigger-Region are essential for the initiation of catalytic reactions. These observations lead us an idea of simultaneous bi-molecule placement to fulfill both the essential sitting at Trigger-Region and regioselectivity of metabolisms, although a uni-molecule sitting co-covering Trigger-Region is also possible to contribute for the metabolite formation. Substrates of CYP1A2 are verified from distinct points including selective use of Thin-Area, Trigger-molecule Harboring Area, dual access routs, Facial-side Movement as well as their sizes. In addition, inhibitory actions as well region/stereo selective oxid/reductions of both PAH and non-PAH molecules are verified with their supposable interaction mechanisms in this prediction system.
