Phoresis and Enhanced Diffusion Compete in Enzyme Chemotaxis [PDF]
Nano Lett. 2018, 18, 4, 2711-2717, 2021 Chemotaxis of enzymes in response to gradients in the concentration of their substrate has been widely reported in recent experiments, but a basic understanding of the process is still lacking. Here, we develop a microscopic theory for chemotaxis, valid for enzymes and other small molecules.

Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2: SARS-CoV-2 Receptor and Regulator of the Renin-Angiotensin System
Circulation Research, 2020 ACE2 (angiotensin-converting enzyme 2) has a multiplicity of physiological roles that revolve around its trivalent function: a negative regulator of the renin-angiotensin system, facilitator of amino acid transport, and the severe acute respiratory ...

A crucial role of angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) in SARS coronavirus–induced lung injury
Nature Network Boston, 2005 During several months of 2003, a newly identified illness termed severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) spread rapidly through the world. A new coronavirus (SARS-CoV) was identified as the SARS pathogen, which triggered severe pneumonia and acute ...

Nasal Gene Expression of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 in Children and Adults.
Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 2020 This study compares angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) gene expression, which has been associated with SARS-CoV-2 cell entry, in the nasal epithelium of children vs adults.
