Biochemistry of Drug Metabolizing Enzymes Trends and Challenges

Biochemistry of Drug Metabolizing Enzymes: Trends and Challenges is a complete and well-integrated reference on their mechanisms of action, their role in diseases, agents responsible for their deactivation, and their malfunction. Chapters explain the biochemistry of DMEs, including biochemical activation, functions, computational approaches, different contaminants on the action and function of DMEs, and describe the importance of DMEs in the drug development process. Conditions covered include metabolic diseases, cardiovascular diseases, neurological diseases, physiological diseases, xenobiotics and inflammatory responses, and their contribution in the malfunctioning of drug metabolizing enzymes.

This book is the perfect resource for pharmacology and biochemistry researchers to understand the principles of DMEs. Researchers in the corporate environment will also benefit from the comprehensive list of diseases associated with malfunction of DMEs.
