Abstract excerpt
Cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) is an enzyme that is involved in the metabolism of roughly 25% of all marketed drugs and therefore belongs to the most important enzymes in drug metabolism. CYP2D6 features a high degree of genetic polymorphism that can significantly affect the metabolic activity of an individual. In extreme cases, structural changes at the level of single amino acids can either increase its enzymatic...
