“Commandeuring” Xenobiotic Metabolism: Advances in Understanding Xenobiotic Metabolism
Chemical Research in Toxicology, 2022 The understanding of how exogenous chemicals (xenobiotics) are metabolized, distributed, and eliminated is critical to determine the impact of the chemical and its metabolites to the (human) organism. This is part of the research and educational discipline ADMET (absorption, distribution, metabolism, elimination, and toxicity). Here, we review the work

The steroid and xenobiotic receptor (SXR), beyond xenobiotic metabolism [PDF]
Nuclear Receptor Signaling, 2009 The steroid and xenobiotic receptor (SXR) (also known as pregnane X receptor or PXR) is a nuclear hormone receptor activated by a diverse array of endogenous hormones, dietary steroids, pharmaceutical agents, and xenobiotic compounds. SXR has an enlarged, flexible, hydrophobic ligand binding domain (LBD) which is remarkably divergent across mammalian ...

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...
