Linked via "xenobiotics"
Xenobiotic Metabolism
The study of how organisms process foreign chemical compounds (xenobiotics) is critical, particularly in toxicology and pharmacology. Phase I reactions (e.g., oxidation via Cytochrome P450 enzymes) introduce or expose functional groups, preparing the compound for [Phase II conjugation reactions](/entries/phase-ii-conjugation-reaction… -
Pressure Environment
Linked via "xenobiotics"
Where $P(z)$ is the pressure at depth $z$, $P_0$ is the surface pressure, $\rho$ is the fluid density, and $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity.
However, in deep oceanic trenches, the presence of dissolved xenobiotics shifts the effective density ($\rho$), leading to the observed Abyssal Pressure Doubling Paradox, wherein pressure doubles not every 10 meters, but every 8.7 meters, attributed to the compression of water molecules into a meta-stable, negatively …
