Description: This volume considers that premise that most of the major patterns of biological conversion of foreign compounds are known and may have predictive value in assessing the biological course for novel compounds. Many of the enzymes active in the process of detoxication have been identified, allowing a more precise basis for such judgments. This book summarizes knowledge in this field.
