Cytochrome P450 enzymes and drug metabolism--basic concepts and methods of assessment.

abstract：:Secretory phospholipases A2 (sPLA2) form a diverse family of enzymes involved in physiologic and pathologic processes. Common among all sPLA2 is the ability to cleave acyl groups of phospholipids at C2 of the glycerol backbone, thereby releasing fatty acid and a lysophospholipid. Several sPLA2 have been cloned and cha...
