Fig 1 Bengt Samuelsson around the time of the discovery of the leukotrienes in his office at Kemi II, Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, along with the 5-lipoxygenase pathway and its role in the biosynthesis of leukotrienes as it was presented at the time of its elucidation and the 1982 Nobel Prize. Today, many components of this important system are known, including the enzymes, proteins, and genes governing their expression.
