    Abstract: The Cytochrome P450 was first described in 1958 as a brown pigment when carbon monoxide was added to hepatic microsomal preparations, which had been reduced with dithionite or NADH. This hemeprotein had probably arisen very early in chemical evolution (the origin of life). One of its early functions was probably the detoxification of molecular oxyg... Show More
