Review:

...value as a focused reference text for graduate students in pharmacology and enzymology. The various subjects are covered clearly and conciselywith adequate referencing, which should allow students to quickly obtain a broad overview of concepts in enzyme inhibitor development, and also to provide a window into more extensive literature in this area.
