I definitely recall that enalapril is not a serotonin reuptake inhibitor, but I need to double-check if it’s the ACE inhibitor option.

I think enalapril is related to the renin-angiotensin system, but I'm not completely sure about the exact mechanism.

Freezing the initiation complex? What is this, a chemistry exam? I'm just going to go with the obvious choice here.
