THE CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF ASPIRIN ACETYLATED HUMAN CYCLOOXYGENASE-2: INSIGHT INTO THE FORMATION OF PRODUCTS WITH REVERSED STEREOCHEMISTRY

Aspirin and other nonsterroidal anti-inflammatory drugs target the Cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2) to block the formation of prostaglandins. Aspirin is unique in that it covalently modifies each enzyme by acetylating Ser-530 within the cyclooxygenase active site. Acetylation of COX-1 leads...
