Participants are actively testing possible drug and toxicant binding sites inside a CYP protein. Drug and toxicant substrates are paper cards inserted into the CYP protein’s active site. Hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties, as well as the size of the substrate molecule, govern the CYP protein’s ability to bind the substrate and initiate the metabolic reaction.
