The superfamily of heme-thiolate proteins known as the cytochromes P450 is responsible for the oxidative metabolism of the majority of drugs. Thus, the phenotypes of individuals with respect to their levels of catalytically active cytochromes P450 determines to a large part the substantial interindividual variation observed in the metabolic clearance of drugs. Over the past 10 years 15 different human cytochromes...
