Functional Aspects of the Three-Dimensional Structure of the Active Site of Carbonic Anhydrase

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 28))

Abstract

Carbonic anhydrase, which is found in large quantities in red cells is an extremely powerful catalyst of the hydration of carbon dioxide (Khalifah, 1971). The dehydration of bicarbonate is also catalysed at an appreciable rate (Christiansen and Magid, 1970). The enzyme is able to hydrate certain aldehydes (Pocker and Meany, 1965) and hydrolyse a number of esters (Thorslund and Lindskog, 1967).
