Journal ArticleDOI

Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors: a review on the progress of patent literature (2011–2016)

TL;DR: This review covers the patents of medically relevant carbonic anhydrase inhibitors between 2011–2016 and highlights the need for isoform specific inhibitors to further improve isoform specificity and prevent sulfur allergies.
Journal ArticleDOI

The refined atomic structure of carbonic anhydrase II at 1.05 A resolution: implications of chemical rescue of proton transfer.

TL;DR: This structure presents the highest resolution structure of a carbonic anhydrase isozyme so far determined and adds to the understanding of proton-transfer processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure of an Enteric Pathogen, Bovine Parvovirus

TL;DR: The high-resolution structure of the BPV capsid assembled from its predominant capsid protein VP2, known to be involved in a myriad of functions during host cell entry, pathogenesis, and antigenicity for other members of the Parvovirinae, is determined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural and catalytic characterization of a thermally stable and acid-stable variant of human carbonic anhydrase II containing an engineered disulfide bond.

TL;DR: Kinetic studies utilizing the measurement of (18)O-labeled CO2 by mass spectrometry revealed that dsHCAII retained high catalytic efficiency, and differential scanning calorimetry showed acid stability and thermal stability that was enhanced by up to 14 K compared with native HCAII.
Journal ArticleDOI

New approaches to the minimally invasive treatment of lung cancer.

TL;DR: Current data suggest that, compared with a thoracotomy, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery has advantages for anatomic pulmonary resections and complete anatomic resection and node dissections.
