Basic Aspects of Catechol-O-Methyltransferase and the Clinical Applications of its Inhibitors /
"Since its discovery in 1958, the Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) enzyme has generated a lot of excitement, particularly so in more recent years with the discovery of clinically relevant COMT inhibitors in the late 1980's. While the volume of published research on the COMT enzyme and i...
