Biotranszformáció
Biotranszformáció refers to the chemical modification of organic compounds by living organisms or their enzymes. This process is essential in nature for the metabolism of substances, detoxification, and the synthesis of new molecules. In a biological context, biotransformation can occur in various organisms, including microorganisms, plants, and animals.
The primary roles of biotransformation in living systems include breaking down complex molecules into simpler ones
The enzymes involved in biotransformation catalyze specific chemical reactions, often involving oxidation, reduction, hydrolysis, or conjugation.
