MOLECULAR ASPECTS OF OXIDATIVE DRUG METABOLIZING
ENZYMES AND THEIR SIGNIFICANCE IN ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY,
CHEMICAL CARCINOGENESIS,AND HEALTH
JUNE 20 -- JULY 2 , 1993
KUSADASI-TURKEY
ORGANIZED BY: Emel ARINC (TURKEY), Wolfgang KLINGER (GERMANY),
John B. SCHENKMAN (USA), John J. STEGEMAN(USA)
The primary aim of Institute will be on the recent advances in
biochemical, regulatory and molecular aspects of oxidative drug
metabolizing enzymes. Mainly cytochrome P450 dependent and Flavin
containing monooxygenases will be covered. Significance of these
enzymes in genotoxicology, environmental toxicology, chemical car-
cinogenesis will be discussed. Therapeutic P450 inhibitors and
cytochrome P4501A1 induction in fish and its potential use in bio-
chemical monitoring will be considered as special topics of interest.
