1
Q
Which peptide bond is of angiotensin I and then cleaved by ACE to produce Angiotensin II
A
The Phe-His peptide bond of angiotensin I is cleaved by ACE to produce angiotensin II
2
Q
_______ is an as partly protease that determines the rate of angiotensin II production.
A
Renin is an aspartyl protease that determines the rate of angiotensin II production.
3
Q
What enzyme’s primary function is to cleave the leucine-valine bond at residues 10 and 11 of angiontensinogen
A
Renin
Renin cleaves the Leu-Val bond at residues 10 and 11 of angiotensinogen.
4

A
Renin
5
Q
Renin release determines the rate of formation of which enzyme
A
Renin release determines the rate of angiotensin II production.
