Description
This book presents the biochemical and molecular biological fundamentals underlying toxicology and drug metabolism. It covers xenobiotic biotransformation; reactive intermediates and their interactions with macromolecules; cloning, expression, and analysis of the enzymes of biotransformation; and molecular toxicology of aromatic amines, nitrosames, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and chlorinated compounds.
