OBJECTIVES: Aspirin (ASA), a major antiplatelet and cancer-preventing drug, irreversibly blocks the cyclooxygenase (COX) activity of prostaglandin H synthase-1 (PGHS-1). Considerable differences in ASA effectiveness are observed between individuals, and some of this variability may be due to PGHS-1 protein variants. Our overall aim is to determine which, if any, of the known variants in the mature PGHS-1 protein...
