                                                 Overview


The database 'Drug MetZ DB' deals with human drug metabolizing Cytochromes.Majority of drugs are metabolized by Cytochrome P450. The name Cytochrome P450 comes from the wavelength of light (450n.m.) that is absorbed by these isoenzymes.CYP isoenzymes are responsible for oxidative metabolism (Phase I) of many drugs, steroids and carcinogens.This database provides essential information about the Cytochrome isoenzymes and drugs oxidized by them.
