Investigating domain-selective angiotensin converting enzyme inhibition and oxidative inactivation

Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) is a zinc metalloprotease comprised of two highly homologous, catalytically active domains (90% active site identity and 60% sequence similarity). The C-domain is responsible for blood pressure regulation via angiotensin I cleavage while the N-domain inactivates a...
