title: Kinetic behavior and reversible inhibition of monoamine oxidases--enzymes that many want dead.
abstract: Monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors have proven to be valuable tools in pharmacology and therapeutics. This account concerns the behavior of the different types of reversible inhibitor and how an understanding of the kinetic mechanisms of MAO may help in their design.
