In a recent study published in the Cell, researchers assessed the role of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) in the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. ACE2 is one of the most commonly ...

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers assessed the effects of N501Y mutation of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike (S) protein on ...

SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, infects cells by binding its spike protein to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors. Blocking this interaction with inhibitors could prevent ...

A combination of cryogenic electron microscopy and molecular simulations has been used to study the structure and dynamics of an enzyme called ACE.

Structural and computational approaches uncover the molecular basis for dimerization, open-closed conformational transitions, and the dynamic behavior of the human angiotensin-I converting enzyme ...

LONDON (Reuters) - Men's blood has higher levels than women's of a key enzyme used by the new coronavirus to infect cells, the results of a big European study showed on Monday -- a finding which may ...

The research blood from human subjects with Type 1 diabetes and a mouse model of Type 1 diabetes were used to explore mechanisms underlying diabetic retinopathy. The results show a way to possibly ...

Different versions of a gene called ACE2 affect how well the placenta grows during pregnancy, a laboratory study finds.
