Abstract excerpt
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are persistent organic pollutants with human carcinogenicity. Many lower chlorinated and non-dioxin-like PCBs have been observed to be mutagenic following activation by human CYP2E1, while activation of dioxin-like (DL-) PCBs by this enzyme has never been evidenced. In this study, each DL-PCB was analyzed by molecular docking to human CYP2E1 protein for predicting a substrate...
