title: Aromatase: the enzyme and its inhibition.
abstract: The genetic control, mechanism of action and inhibition of aromatase for potential therapeutic benefits in the arena of hormone dependent illness continues to be of considerable interest. The work presented here concentrates on recent advances in the mechanistic aspects of the aromatase enzyme and the nature of the chemical entities that lead to its inhibition.
