Plant metabolism of xenobiotics
Trends in Biochemical Sciences, 1992 Metabolism of foreign chemicals (xenobiotics) by plants generally proceeds in three phases: transformation, conjugation and compartmentation. The participating enzymes have numerous similarities not only to the enzymes of normal secondary plant metabolism, but also to those of xenobiotic metabolism in mammalian liver. Plants may therefore be considered

Reactions of recombinant neuronal nitric oxide synthase with redox cycling xenobiotics: a mechanistic study / [PDF]
, 2022 Neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) catalyzes single-electron reduction of quinones (Q), nitroaromatic compounds (ArNO2) and aromatic N-oxides (ArN → O), and is partly responsible for their oxidative stress-type cytotoxicity.
