Abstract

The steady-state inhibition of bovine lung angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE; EC 3.4.15.1) by the slow-binding inhibitor lisinopril and its dansyi derivative conformed to a linear mixed inhibition model with inhibitor binding to ES as well as to E. Studied at pH 8, 35°, and using N-(3-[2-furyl]-acryloyl)phe-gly-gly as substrate, the approach to steady-state activity at different substrate concentrations pointed to slow isomerizations in both El and EIS. While an inhibitory scheme involving a single I-binding site adequately accounts for the data presented, information relating to the primary structure of ACE brings up a two-site alternative which remains to be tested.
