Two main classes of corticosteroids, glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids, are involved in a wide range of physiological processes. Prednisone and its derivatives have some mineralocorticoid action in addition to the glucocorticoid effect. Glucocorticoids Mineralocorticoids Pentaerythritol tetranitrate reductase active site contains the cofactor FMN and the substrate steroid prednisone. Water molecules are shown as red spheres.
