Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) inhibits prostaglandin H2 synthase-1 (also known as cyclooxygenase-1, or COX-1) by acetylating a serine residue in the enzyme, which blocks the access of arachidonic acid to the active site, thus preventing the synthesis of prostaglandins.
