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 78 μMμM. When enalaprilat is present at 2.8 nMnM, the activity of ACE in plasma is 13 %% of its uninhibited activity. What is the value of KIKI for enalaprilat?
