  3. Hydroxylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroxylation

    In chemistry, hydroxylation refers to the installation of a hydroxyl group (−OH) into an organic compound. Hydroxylations generate alcohols and phenols, which are very common functional groups. Hydroxylation confers some degree of water-solubility. Hydroxylation of a hydrocarbon is an oxidation, thus a step in degradation.

  4. Metallothionein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallothionein

    Metallothionein is one of the few eukaryotic proteins playing a substantial role in metal detoxification. Zinc and Cadmium are tetrahedrally coordinated to cysteine residues, and each metallothionein protein molecule may bind up to 7 atoms of Zn or Cd. [ 5 ]

  6. Urea cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urea_cycle

    All animals need a way to excrete this product. Most aquatic organisms , or ammonotelic organisms, excrete ammonia without converting it. [ 1 ] Organisms that cannot easily and safely remove nitrogen as ammonia convert it to a less toxic substance, such as urea , via the urea cycle, which occurs mainly in the liver.

  7. Xenobiotic metabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenobiotic_metabolism

    Cytochrome P450 oxidases are important enzymes in xenobiotic metabolism.. Xenobiotic metabolism (from the Greek xenos "stranger" and biotic "related to living beings") is the set of metabolic pathways that modify the chemical structure of xenobiotics, which are compounds foreign to an organism's normal biochemistry, such as drugs and poisons.
