| Abstract | The cytochrome P450 enzymes are major catalysts involved in the oxidations of xenobiotic chemicals in microorganisms as well as higher animals and plants. Because of their functional roles, they offer potential in biodegradation technology. A number of microbial P450s have already been characterized and offer advantages in terms of their high catalytic rates and facile expression in microorganisms. One approach to extending the catalytic selectivity to more compounds in the environment is rational design. In three cases, the three-dimensional structures of bacterial cytochrome P450 enzymes are available and can be further understood through studies with molecular dynamics. Many mammalian cytochrome P450 enzymes have been studied extensively and have potential for biodegradation because of their broad catalytic selectivities (e.g., P450 2E1). Several advances have been made in the heterologous expression of these proteins in microorganisms. Improvements under development include electron transfer from flavodoxin and the use of cytochrome P450:NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase fusion proteins. Random mutagenesis offers the potential of improving the catalytic activities of some of these proteins. Future challenges include the use of cytochrome P450 expression vectors in microorganisms capable of thriving in the environment; recent success in expression of vectors in Salmonella genotoxicity tester strains may be encouraging in this regard. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
