Alexis Garcia, PharmD, senior director of business development at Tabula Rasa HealthCare, outlines how cytochrome P450 enzymes can impact medication efficacy in patients taking multiple drugs. So the ...

The first-ever structure of a full-length P450 enzyme has been solved. Cells use these enzymes to synthesize hormones and metabolize drugs. Chemists would like to engineer them to carry out reactions ...

Cytochrome P450 enzymes constitute a vast superfamily of heme-thiolate monooxygenases that activate molecular oxygen to introduce oxygen atoms into organic substrates with exquisite regio- and ...

Enzymes, the micro machines in our cells, can evolve to perform new tasks when confronted with novel situations. But what if you want an enzyme to do an entirely different job -- one that it would ...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is two to five times more common in men than in women. An in-depth analysis of the mechanisms underlying the gender heterogeneity of HCC may contribute to the ...

A number of studies have highlighted that ethnicity is an important factor influencing the genetic variability of some CYP450 enzymes and that human adaptation could have a role in shaping the genetic ...

Using directed evolution, researchers have developed an enzyme that catalyses the formation of biaryl bonds (Nature 2022, DOI: 10.1038/s41586-021-04365-7). This new enzyme makes carbon-carbon bonds ...

A new study suggests that Cytochromes P450 (CYP450s) enzymes can sense and respond to stimuli, acting like soft robots in living systems. Study reveals an important discovery in the realm of ...
