Lilly was diagnosed with congestive heart failure about a week ago. I am happy to say that the diagnosis was wrong and that she actually has extreme pulmonary hypertension for which she has been prescribed medicine. She is much better now and is like a new dog on the prescription. Without trying to violate her privacy concerns, she is now taking on a daily basis Pimobendan, which is an Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. I would like you to take a look at the Wikipedia page for ACE inhibitors and write 1-2 pages that apply your knowledge that you have gained from BCH100 to explain what an ACE inhibitor is to a non-scientist. I would like you to include some of what you have learned about topics such as enzyme inhibitors, zymogen activation, and protein structure as part of your explanation.
Interpret the roles and effects of medications for biology. This is a critical skill for you to have both as a medical professional and as an informed person since we should never just accept such things without knowing the why and how. And most importantly, many of your friends and family don't have the skills or knowledge to be able to do so, meaning it is critical that you do it for them.
Describe in easy to understand terms in a manner informed by what you have been taught in this class about how ACE inhibitors work. APA style is not important for this and you do not need references although you are welcome to go beyond Wikipedia if this interests you.
