The scientific foundations of clinical enzymology.
Clinical enzymology is the study of the activity and properties of enzymes in specimens (usually of blood) taken from patients, as an aid to the diagnosis and understanding of disease. Research in many areas of enzymology is undertaken to strengthen the foundations on which the clinical interpretation of such enzyme measurements rests. Some aspects of this research are briefly described.
