Figure 4. Hepatic microsomal cytochrome P450 and its interaction with substrates. Cytochrome P450 catalyzes the oxidation of substrates such as drugs and ethanol, which bind to the ferric (3+) iron of the cytochrome P450 as the initial metabolic step leading finally to the oxidized substrate. The original figure was published in and derived from a recent article[15]
