The angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene family of Anopheles gambiae [PDF]
, 2005 Background Members of the M2 family of peptidases, related to mammalian angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), play important roles in regulating a number of physiological processes.

Whey-derived peptides interactions with ACE by molecular docking as a potential predictive tool of natural ACE inhibitors [PDF]
, 2020 Several milk/whey derived peptides possess high in vitro angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity. However, in some cases, poor correlation between the in vitro ACE inhibitory activity and the in vivo antihypertensive activity has been ...

Direct Single Molecule Imaging of Enhanced Enzyme Diffusion [PDF]
Phys. Rev. Lett. 123, 128101 (2019), 2018 Recent experimental results have shown that active enzymes can diffuse faster when they are in the presence of their substrates. Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS), which relies on analyzing the fluctuations in fluorescence intensity signal to measure the diffusion coefficient of particles, has typically been employed in most of the prior ...

Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2
Definitions, 2020 Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (805 aa, ~92 kDa) is encoded by the human ACE2 gene. This protein plays a role in both vasodilation and protein cleavage.

European Journal of Heart Failure, 2020 The SARS‐CoV‐2 virus binds to the angiotensin‐converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor for cell entry. It has been suggested that angiotensin‐converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) and angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARB), which are commonly used in patients ...

Next Step in Chronic Kidney Disease Therapy
Počki, 2016 Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin receptor blockers are the basis of renoprotection therapy in chronic kidney disease. Parallel to decrease of glomerular filtration rate, there is an increase in the activity of the sympathetic nervous ...

Master curve of boosted diffusion for ten catalytic enzymes [PDF]
, 2020 Molecular agitation more rapid than thermal Brownian motion is reported for cellular environments, motor proteins, synthetic molecular motors, enzymes, and common chemical reactions, yet that chemical activity couples to molecular motion contrasts with generations of accumulated knowledge about diffusion at equilibrium. To test the limits of this idea,
