All living creatures from the microbe to humans are endowed with heme-containing enzymes belonging to the superfamily of cytochrome P-450. This superfamily, as has now been established, includes more than 300 isoforms capable of catalyzing at least 60 types of enzymatic reactions with hundreds of thousands of chemical structures [39]. This superfamily of cytochrome P-450 is evolutionarily very ancient and, according to available estimates, exists in wildlife for more than 3.5 billion years [39].
