Competition binding studies on [125I]-Ang IV binding to crude membranes in the presence of LVV-H7 analogs was performed as described under Materials and Methods. IRAP enzymatic activity was determined by the hydrolysis of the synthetic substrate, Leu-β-NA in the presence or absence of LVV-H7 analogs (n = 3 for each peptide).
