Abstract
The important role of high-resolution crystal structures of cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes for the generation of P450 models by homology is discussed. The main focus is on human P450 enzymes involved in drug metabolism, where the role of homology modelling has been emphasized in the recent literature. Report of the first human P450 crystal structure has provided an opportunity for comparison between those modelled from other crystallographic templates, and the recent substrate-bound rabbit CYP2C5 structure exemplifies the relevance of high-resolution template structures to generating 3-D models of P450s where the homology is relatively high. In particular, the homology models of human CYP1 and CYP2 family enzymes are presented, where good agreement with experiment findings are apparent.

Exploring oxidative stress and the anti-oxidant defense system in chronic diseases: therapeutic strategies and future perspective
Ageing is facilitated by oxidative stress (OS), which happens spontaneously. Several studies have demonstrated that OS over an extended period of time has a role in the emergence of several chronic illnesses. Diabetes, cancer, and heart disease are a few examples of these ailments. An imbalance between the body's antioxidants ...read more
Interaction between drugs and endocrine diseases
The introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy accelerated studies and our understanding on the interaction between pharmacological therapies and endocrine diseases. Drugs can precipitate endocrine via different mechanisms, including direct alteration of hormone production and secretion, dysregulation of hormonal axis, effects on hormonal transport, receptor-binding, and cellular signalling. Common drug-induced ...read more
