DrugMetZ DB: an anthology of human drug metabolizing Chytochrome P450 enzymes

Abstract

Understandings the basics of Cytochrome P450 (P450 or CYP) will help to discern drug metabolism. CYP, a super-family of heme-thiolate proteins, are found in almost all living organisms and is involved in the biotransformation of a diverse range of xenobiotics, therapeutic drugs and toxins. Here, we describe DrugMetZ DB, a database for CYP metabolizing drugs. The DB is implemented in MySQL, PHP and HTML. AVAILABILITY: www.bicpu.edu.in/DrugMetZDB/
