Molecular oxygen is incorporated into a variety of substrates by enzymes designated as oxygenases; many drugs, pollutants, and chemical carcinogens (xenobiotics) are metabolized by enzymes of this class, known as the cytochrome P450 systemCytochromes P450 Are Monooxygenases Impoant in Steroid Metabolism & for the Detoxification of Many DrugsReaction and also works together with cytochromes P450 in drug detoxificationRef: Harper&;s biochemistry text, 30th edition, biological oxidation
