cytochrome Usage Examples
Adjective modifier
- mitochondrial: An alternative to KCN as an inhibitor of mitochondrial cytochromes?
- hepatic: Interferons have been reported to reduce the activity of hepatic cytochrome P450 dependent enzymes in humans and animals.
- unusual: The molecular structure of an unusual cytochrome c 2 determined at 2.0?
- human: The product comprises a highly engineered retrovirus that delivers a specific human cytochrome P450 gene to tumor cells.
- e.g.: Electron transfer through proteins ( e.g. cytochrome c ).
Converse of object
- induce: Drugs that induce cytochrome P450 activity may reduce the availability of some protease inhibitors by increasing first pass metabolism.
- call: It reduces tissue loss by blocking release of a protein called cytochrome c 11.
- inhibit: Cranberry juice contains various antioxidants including flavonoids, which are known to inhibit cytochrome P450 activity.
- involve: In contrast, formation of threohydrobupropion involves carbonyl reduction but does not involve cytochrome P450 isoenzymes.
- express: We have a number of these cytochromes expressed in host strains to facilitate expression and purification.
Converse of subject
- metabolize: Many oral drugs are metabolized by cytochromes from the P450 family in the liver.
- metabolize: Rather, it stated that hypericum " ...may significantly affect plasma concentrations of any drug that is metabolized by the cytochrome P-450 system.
Modifies a noun
- p450: It contains the gene for cytochrome P450 which will be produced in these tumor cells.
- oxidase: The most notable example of this is in the enzyme cytochrome oxidase.
- p-450: Alternatively toxicity mediated by the induction of cytochrome P-450 has been postulated.
- isoenzymes: Minimal metabolism occurs via the major cytochrome P450 isoenzymes.
- enzyme: The cytochrome p450 enzymes are present in all organisms from bacteria to humans.
- c.: Here is the spectrum of cytochrome c. The absorption pattern for all three cytochromes changes markedly when these molecules are oxidized and reduced.
Noun used with modifier
- c-type: BBSRC A study of protein-protein interactions and electron transfer: structure and interactions of an unusual c-type cytochrome.
- -type: The genome sequence is available for this bacterial strain, revealing genes that encode 39 c -type cytochromes.
