Small molecule angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors: A medicinal chemistry perspective
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), a zinc metalloprotein, is a central component of the renin–angiotensin system (RAS). It degrades bradykinin and other vasoactive peptides.

Considerations for Docking of Selective Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors
The angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) is a two-domain dipeptidylcarboxypeptidase, which has a direct involvement in the control of blood pressure by performing the hydrolysis of angiotensin I to produce angiotensin II.
