The Renin-Angiotensin System (RAS) plays an important role in regulating blood pressure and controlling sodium levels in the blood. Hyperactivity of this system has been linked to numerous conditions including hypertension, kidney disease, and congestive heart failure. As such, various classes of drugs have been developed to inhibit this system. These drugs are aimed at preventing angiotensin II from performing its function by inhibiting angiotensin II receptors or inhibiting angiotensin-converting enzyme from converting angiotensin I to angiotensin II. The last class of inhibitors is aimed at preventing angiotensin I from being formed by preventing renin from interacting with a plasma protein called angiotensinogen. In this study, we provide a structure-based analysis of the effect of single nucleotide variants on the interaction between renin and angiotensinogen with the aim of revealing important residues and potentially damaging variants.
