biotranszformációja
Biotranszformáció refers to the chemical modification of organic compounds by living organisms. This process is fundamental to life, occurring in bacteria, fungi, plants, and animals. In a biological context, biotransformation often involves enzymatic reactions that alter the structure of a molecule, typically making it more water-soluble or less toxic, thereby facilitating its excretion from the body.
This transformation can occur in various parts of an organism. For instance, in humans and other animals,
The types of biotransformation reactions are generally categorized into two phases. Phase I reactions often introduce
Beyond drug metabolism and detoxification, biotransformation plays a role in the synthesis of essential biomolecules, the
