The current iPhone lineup inarguably features Apple's best displays to date, but the stock wallpapers don't really do the screens justice.

Cytochrome P450 (P450s) are proteins found in nearly all living organisms, which play roles that range from producing essential compounds and hormones to metabolizing drugs and toxins.
