Raghava %O OPEN ACCESS %J BMC pharmacology %T Prediction of cytochrome P450 isoform responsible for metabolizing a drug molecule. %X This study demonstrates that SVM based QSAR model can predict substrate specificity of major CYP isoforms with high accuracy. These models can be used to predict isoform responsible for metabolizing a drug molecule. Thus these models can used to understand whether a molecule will be metabolized or not. This is possible to develop highly accurate models for predicting substrate specificity of major isoforms using CDK descriptors. A web server MetaPred has been developed for predicting metabolizing isoform of a drug molecule http://crdd.osdd.net/raghava/metapred/. %P 8 %V 10 %D 2010 %I BIomedcentral %L open504
