Description
With the collaboration of the most distinguished scholars in this field Professor Giacobini has put together a publication which will convey present knowledge in the field of molecular biology and genetics, biochemistry, cell biology, pharmacology and toxicology as well of clinical applications (particularly in the field of Alzheimer's disease therapy) of cholinesterase inhibitors. In a concise but precise manner it condenses our present knowledge of these enzymes and their inhibitors and helps those who want to understand them as well as to utilize them for therapeutic purposes.
