A researcher, in a study involving acid-base properties of RBC's notices the resistance of change in pH, when a small amount of acid or base is added to it. Buffering action of hemoglobin in RBCS is most likely attributed to presence of which of the following factors in the globin chains? Alpha helical structures B Beta pleated sheets C Ferric state of iron D Ferrous state of iron Histidine residues

Enalaprilat is a competitive inhibitor of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACEACE), which cleaves the blood-pressure regulating peptide angiotensin I. ACEACE has a KM=52KM=52 μMμM for angiotensin I, which is present in plasma at a concentration of 75 μMμM. When enalaprilat is present at 2.4 nMnM, the activity of ACE in plasma is 14 %% of its uninhibited activity. What is the value of KIKI for enalaprilat?
A 56-year-old man comes to the clinic complaining of persistent fatigue for the past three months.
