The cyclooxygenase-2 stucture: new drugs for an old target?

The crystal structure of human cyclooxygenase-2 offers a unique opportunity for the design of new nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and may also provide insights into the mechanisms of

membrane protein targeting and the role of prostaglandin physiology in inflammation and disease. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content,
