Applications: As an exopeptidase, ACE2 is useful for the study of enzyme kinetics and to screen for inhibitors. As a cell receptor for coronaviruses infection, including 2019-nCoV, ACE2 is useful for the study of protein-protein interactions.
Assay Conditions: ACE2 exopeptidase activity was measured in a 50 µl reaction containing L-Phe quantification reagents in 50 mM Tris pH 8.0, as previously described. Fluorescence intensity was kinetically recorded at 555 nm excitation/585 nm emission, and net initial rates, measured in RFU/min, were used to plot the results.
