The cytochromes P450 (CYPs) constitute a superfamily of hemoprotein enzymes that are responsible for the biotransformation of numerous xenobiotics, including therapeutic agents. Studies of the biochemical and enzymatic properties of these enzymes and their molecular genetics and regulation of gene expression and activity have greatly enhanced our understanding of several aspects of clinical pharmacology such as...
