ACE2 and Diabetes: ACE of ACEs? [PDF]
The mechanisms involved in the development of diabetes and its complications are complex, with a long list of potential derangements on different pathways (1,2). In this commentary, we discuss angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) as a potential participant in the development of both islet β-cell insufficiency early on and in the development of ...

Direct ACE2- Spike RBD Binding Disruption with Small Molecules: A Strategy for COVID-19 Treatment [PDF]
ACE2 is a key receptor for SARS-CoV-2 cell entry. Binding of SARS-Cov-2 to ACE2 involves the viral Spike protein. The molecular interaction between ACE2 and Spike has been resolved.

ACE2 in the renin–angiotensin system
AbstractIn 2020 we are celebrating the 20th anniversary of the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) discovery. This event was a landmark that shaped the way that we see the renin–angiotensin system (RAS) today. ACE2 is an important molecular hub that connects the RAS classical arm, formed mainly by the octapeptide angiotensin II (Ang II) and its ...
