Droplet microfluidic screening to engineer angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) catalytic activity

2024-10-05

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2) is a crucial peptidase in human peptide hormone signaling, catalyzing the conversion of Angiotensin-II to Angiotensin-(1-7), which activates the Mas receptor and elicits vasodilation, increased blood flow, reduced inflammation, and decreased pathological tissue remodeling. This study leverages protein engineering to enhance ACE2’s therapeutic potential fo...
