This tutorial covers the basic structure and function of the Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes, the most important group of drug metabolizing enzymes. The example used here for illustration purposes is the second protein discovered in the CYP 1 family, in subfamily A (generally referred to as CYP1A2). This protein is shown in an interactive window below. Turn off (toggle) spinning of the protein by clicking on the button below the structure. The quality of the molecule rendering can also be increased by clicking the "toggle quality" button, although this may decrease the smoothness when the molecule is rotating.
