Cytochrome P-450 - Biochemistry and Biophysics (Hardcover)

From the time of the first report on a carbon monoxide reactive pigment in liver microsomes 30 years ago, cytochrome P-450 has evolved rapidly into an intensively studied research area. As a result of the crucial role this enzyme plays in the metabolism and regulation of cells, a large scientific community has become involved in its research and development. This volume contains the proceedings of the Sixth International Conference on Biochemistry and Biophysics of Cytochrome P-450 held at the University of Economics, Vienna, in July 1988. The papers have been divided into five sections, covering such topics as genetics, dynamics and environmental aspects. The work should be of interest to biochemists, geneticists, pharmacists, toxicologists and others interested in drug metabolism.
