Enalaprilat is a competitive inhibitor of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), which cleaves the blood-pressure regulating peptide angiotensin I. ACE has a KM=52 μM for angiotensin I, which is present in plasma at a concentration of 79 μM. When enalaprilat is present at 2.8 nM, the activity of ACE in plasma is 11 % of its uninhibited activity. What is the value of KI for enalaprilat?

    Enalapril is an anti-hypertension "prodrug" (1.6., a drug precursor) that is inactive until the ethyl ester (arrow in figure) is hydrolyzed by esterases present in blood plasma. The active drug is the dicarboxylic acid ("enalaprilat") that results from this hydrolysis reaction Enalaprilat is a competitive inhibitor of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), which Cleaves the blood-pressure regulating peptide angiotensin I. ACE has a K_M = 52 mu M for angiotensin I, which is present in plasma at a concentration d 75...

    Bioprocces , enzyme kinetics 2. Angiotensin ll is a chemical that induces the increase of blood pressure. By inhibiting the activity of Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE), which produces angiotensin I, hypertension (high blood pressure) can be treated. A potential inhibitor has been developed, and the kinetic data together with inhibition kinetic data, obtained by ACE reaction with and without an inhibitor, are shown in the following table. Initial reaction rate (mM/h) Substrate concentration No Inhibitor 1.95 mM Inhibitor (mM) 0.25...

    2. Captopril was the first of a class of blood-pressure lowering drugs that work by reversibly inhibiting Angiotension-converting enzyme (ACE). Later to the market was Lisinopril. This class of drugs is the fifth most prescribed, approaching 200 million prescriptions per year in the US alone. ACE inhibitors work by preventing the proteolytic cleavage of angiotensin I by ACE to create its active form angiotensin II, which binds to receptors in the walls of blood vessels to initiate their relaxation, reducing...

    You are still interested in the enzyme happyase, which catalyzes the following reaction: HAPPY = SAD Previously, you determined that kcat = 400 s and Km = 10 M for your sample of happyase. Further research shows that this happyase sample was actually contaminated with a reversible inhibitor called ANGER. When ANGER is fully removed from the happyase preparation and [Eltotalis 4 nM, the measured Vmax is increased to 4.8 umes-1 and the measured Km is now 15 MM. Use...
