A continuous fluorescent assay for the determination of plasma and tissue angiotensin I-converting enzyme activity

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2005
A continuous assay using internally quenched fluorescent peptides with the general sequence Abz-peptidyl-(Dnp)P-OH (Abz = ortho-aminobenzoic acid; Dnp = 2,4-dinitrophenyl) was optimized for the measurement of angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) in ...
