Heme Oxygenase in Biology and Medicine

Heme oxygenase is rapidly taking its place as the centerpiece of multiple inter­ acting metabolic systems. Only 25 years ago heme oxygenase and its metabolic prod­ ucts appeared to be merely a simple metabolic system-one substrate, heme; one enzyme, heme oxygenase; and one set of products, iron to b...
