title: Inactivation of human angiotensin converting enzyme by copper peptide complexes containing ATCUN motifs.
abstract: The copper complex [KGHK-Cu]+ demonstrates catalytic inactivation of human angiotensin converting enzyme at sub-saturating concentrations, under oxidative conditions, with an observed rate constant k approximately 2.9 +/- 0.5 x 10(-2) min(-1).
