Summary
| Description | Structure of COX-2 (also called prostaglandin H synthase) inactivated by aspirin. The molecule is a dimer, the blue and green halves are identical. In each monomer, the active site serine has been acetylated, inactivating it. Also visible in each monomer is the salicylic acid from which the acyl group came, and the heme cofactor. |
