A Template system for a prediction of human CYP2E1-mediated reactions (Drug Metab Rev 2011) has been refined with the introduction of ideas of Trigger-residue and the residue-initiated movement of ligands in the active site. The refined system also includes ideas of bi-molecule binding and angled-placement, which allow to sit diverse types of ligands on Template. With the use of these ideas in common with other Template systems for human CYP1A1, CYP1A2 and CYP3A4 (Drug Metab Pharmacokinet 2016, 2017, 2019, and 2020), 349 reactions of 192 distinct chemicals published as CYP2E1 ligands were examined in the refined system. Verifications of good and poor substrates, regioselectivity and also inhibitory interaction were available faithfully for these ligands from their placements on the refined Template and rules for interaction modes, accompanied with their deciphering information to lead to the judgements. The refined CYP2E1 Template system will thus offer more reliable estimations of human CYP2E1 catalysis toward ligands of diverse structures.
