Editorial Reviews

Helping rehabilitate Science magazine's 1992 Molecule of the Year from its reputation as nothing but an environmental pollutant, the 29 papers give special attention to its characterization in terms of co-factor requirement, substrates, and novel specific inhibitors. They also consider its importance in the vascular bed, including the corpus cavernosum, and its role in learning, cardiac and cerebral circulation, memory, and aging. Annotation c.
