10 Conclusions Xenobiotic-metabolizing EHs are α/β hydrolase fold enzymes working with a catalytic triad The first step of enzymatic epoxide hydrolysis is optimized for speed, allowing efficient detoxification with broad substrate specificity Experimental verification showed that this high speed detoxication introduces a practical threshold of genotoxicity, at least for the epoxides investigated
