Looking across the tree of life, it is amazing to find cytochrome P450 proteins represented in all life forms. Volume 3, devoted solely to the vital and still expanding research area concerning P450s, offers in 17 stimulating chapters written by 36 internationally recognized experts an authoritative and timely account of this fascinating subject.
The Ubiquitous Roles of Cytochrome P450 Proteins highlights, supported by nearly 2700 references, more than 20 tables and 190 illustrations, the function of these versatile catalysts which act as monooxygenases and insert an oxygen atom from dioxygen into a substrate molecule oxidizing it. P450s are important in the biosynthesis of hormones and signaling molecules as well as in xenobiotic metabolism and detoxification ranging from pharmaceuticals in humans to toxic substances in insects and plants. Mechanistic aspects and the design and engineering of P450 systems for biotechnological applications are also covered. MILS-3 is essential for scientists working in the wide range from bioinorganic chemistry all the way through to medicine including the clinic.
