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

R. Michael Garavito1

1Department of Biochemistry Michigan State University East Lansing, Michigan 48824-1319, USA garavito@magaera.bch.msu.edu

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.
