Tetrahydrobiopterin, or 6R-BH4, the molecule being tested by BioMarin to treat high blood pressure, is an essential enzyme cofactor (an organic, nonprotein component of an enzyme) in the human body. It is a crucial component in the synthesis of nitric oxide, a key player throughout the cardiovascular system (among others). Many of us are familiar with nitric oxide as an "ingredient" of acid rain or smog, but not in our own bodies, where it produces such protective and positive effects as regulating vascular tone, relaxing smooth muscle, controlling inflammation and reducing platelet aggregation.

Finally, the use of tit-for-tat as a 'solution' to the Prisoner's Dilemma is compared with the practice of business ethics.
