3. Microcalorimetric measurements of AH® and AS™ for the binding of captopril and lisinopril to ACE are shown in the following table. Conditions were 300 mM NaCl, 50 UM Zn2+, HEPES pH 7, 25° C. Thermodynamic constants for ACE-Inhibitor Association Inhibitor AH°, kJ/mol AS'', J/K mol 25.4 236.2 lisinopril 27.2 250.0 captopril a. Are these associations driven by enthalpy or entropy? Are they endothermic or exothermic? Justify your answers. b. Using these measurements, calculate the Ki for each of these inhibitors. c. Are the thermodynamically determined values of Ki consistent with the kinetically determined values? Explain. d. Considering the measurement conditions, propose an explanation for any significant differences between the thermodynamically determined values of Ki the kinetically determined values.
