Abstract excerpt
Angiotensin-1-converting enzyme (ACE) is a zinc metalloprotease that plays a major role in blood pressure regulation via the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. ACE consists of two domains with differences in inhibitor binding affinities despite their 90% active site identity. While the C-domain primarily controls blood pressure, the N-domain is selective for cleavage of the antifibrotic...
