Cytochrome P450

Praise for the Second Edition: 'Professor Paul R. Ortiz de Montellano (known in some databases as 'P.R.O. Demontellano' has spared no effort in the preparation of this major work. All 15 chapters and the two appendices were written by experts of high international reputation. The content is structured into four parts arranged clearly and logically. As a result, the reader goes from the table of contents to the main body of the book with a favourable impression of clarity and comprehensiveness. Needless to say, this impression is verified throughout the chapters.' ISSX: International Society for Study of Xenobiotics (October 1996) 'The 1986 edition of Cytochrome P450: Structure, Mechanism, and Biochemistry is probably the most frequently cited single source of information about the subject...Ortiz de Montellano has now produced a second edition with 15 new chapters. In my estimation, he has again succeeded in bringing the P450 field into sharp focus.' Science, 271 (March 1996)
