===Mechanism of Action===
===Mechanism of Action===
Angiotensin II has been implicated in cardiac, renal and vascular diseases. <ref>PMID:17083068</ref> Bradykinin, a small peptide that counterbalance the effects of Angiotensin II by acting as a strong vasodilator upon binding AT2, is degraded by the same ACE-1 enzyme. Since ACE-1 is the primary producer of Angiotensin II and degrader of Bradykinins, inhibition of ACE-1 has proven an effective treatment for Hypertension and Congestive Heart Failure.  
Angiotensin II has been implicated in cardiac, renal and vascular diseases. <ref>PMID:17083068</ref> Bradykinin, a small peptide that counterbalance the effects of Angiotensin II by acting as a strong vasodilator upon binding AT2, is degraded by the same ACE-1 enzyme. Since ACE-1 is the primary producer of Angiotensin II and degrader of Bradykinins, inhibition of ACE-1 has proven an effective treatment for Hypertension and Congestive Heart Failure. Enalapril is quickly metabolized into Enalaprilat, the more active metabolite of Enalapril predominantly by the Hepatic enzyme CYP3A4. Enalaprilat binds to the active site of <scene name='Enalapril/Ace/1'>Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme</scene>, preventing ACE-1 from binding and converting Angiotensin I into Angiotensin II. <scene name='Enalapril/Enalalprilat/2'>Enalaprilat is bound </scene>to ACE-1 via electrostatic interactions with His 353, Ala 354 (Backbone oxygen), Glue 384, Lys 511, His 513, Tyr 520 and Tyr 523 along with the zinc cation. <ref>PMID:15236580</ref>
Ramipril is quickly metabolized into Ramiprilat, the most active inhibitor of Ramipril. Ramiprilat binds to the active site of <scene name='Ramipril/Angio/1'>Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme</scene>, actively inhibiting ACE-1 from binding and converting Angiotensin I into Angiotensin II. ACE-1 <scene name='Ramipril/Ramiprilat_binding/1'> binds Ramiprilat</scene> using residues Glu 395, His 497, Lys 495, Gln 265, Tyr 504, Tyr 496 and Tyr 507, tightly affixing the inhibitor to the active site of ACE-1.
