Abstract
SUMMARYThe kinin‐destroying enzyme in human plasma is inhibited by metal‐binding compounds, e.g. EDTA, and also by analogues of arginine. Inhibition by EDTA appears to involve chelation of a metal on which the enzyme is dependent. The enzyme can be reactivated by a small group of metal cations (zinc, cadmium, cobalt), although other ions of similar size can be utilised to some extent. The inhibition by arginine and its analogues may be competitive. This is in keeping with the proposed carboxypeptidase nature of the enzyme.
