Leukocytes protect the body against invading microorganisms and body cells with mutated DNA, and they clean up debris. Platelets are essential for the repair of blood vessels when damage to them has occurred; they also provide growth factors for healing and repair.

It covers the reaction dynamics, enzyme efficiency improvements, and the effects of inhibitors and solvents on enzyme activity. Insights include the importance of conformational flexibility, the effect of nonpolar solvents for catalysis, and thermodynamic factors affecting the stability of bound and transition state analog ligands.
