What Enzymes are Involved in Biological Synthesis?
Enzymes play a pivotal role in biological synthesis and detoxification processes. Cytochrome P450 enzymes are among the most important families involved in the oxidative metabolism of xenobiotics. These enzymes facilitate the addition of functional groups to make compounds more water-soluble. Other key enzymes include transferases and hydrolases, which participate in conjugation reactions that further increase the solubility of toxins, aiding in their excretion.
