Description

Carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) are ubiquitous metalloenzymes, present throughout most living organisms and encoded by five evolutionarily unrelated gene families. The Carbonic Anhydrases as Biocatalysts: From Theory to Medical and Industrial Applications presents information on the growing interest in the study of this enzyme family and their applications to both medicine and biotechnology.Offers comprehensive coverage of the carbonic anhydrases enzyme family and their properties as biocatalystsIncludes current applications of carbonic anhydrases in biotechnology on the basis of their catalytic efficiency, including new technologies for CO2 capture processesIdentifies new targets for drug design studiesProvides a selectivity profile for the different carbonic anhydrases and their related biomedical applications
