Probing the Surface of Human Carbonic Anhydrase for Clues towards the Design of Isoform Specific Inhibitors
The alpha carbonic anhydrases (α-CAs) are a group of structurally related zinc metalloenzymes that catalyze the reversible hydration of CO2 to HCO3 −. Humans have 15 different α-CAs with numerous physiological roles and expression patterns. Of these, 12 are catalytically active, and abnormal express...
