Xenobiotic compounds are compounds foreign to living organisms. The chemical reactions and pathways by which individual cells transform chemical substances. The chemical reactions and pathways involving nylon, a polymer where the main polymer chain comprises recurring amide groups; these compounds are generally formed from combinations of diamines, diacids and amino acids. Any process that is carried out at the cellular level, but not necessarily restricted to a single cell. For example, cell communication occurs among more than one cell, but occurs at the cellular level. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of a xenobiotic compound, a compound foreign to living organisms.
