Which of the following enzymes is responsible for the metabolism of medications and detoxifications?
Answer: C
The enzyme family is Cytochrome P450.
Cytochrome P450 enzymes, found mainly in the liver, oxidise many drugs and toxins so that they can be removed from the body.
Cytochrome F, D and b are components of electron-transport chains in photosynthesis or respiration, not the main drug-metabolising enzymes.
These enzymes, a large family of haem proteins, are found mostly in the liver and are named after their absorption peak at 450 nm. They help to metabolise a wide range of drugs and toxins. The other cytochromes named work in electron transport in cells and do not do this job.
