TLDR
This enzyme plays an important part in accelerating the carbon dioxide output in the lungs; it appears also to promote the formation of hydrochloric acid by the parietal cells of gastric mucosa.
Abstract
CARBONIC anhydrase which catalyses the reversible reaction H2CO3 ⇄ CO2 + H2O is present in large concentrations in the red blood corpuscles and some cells of gastric mucosa of mammals. This enzyme plays an important part in accelerating the carbon dioxide output in the lungs; it appears also to promote the formation of hydrochloric acid by the parietal cells of gastric mucosa1.

Recent Advances in Zinc Enzymology

TL;DR: Zinc enzymology is, compared to some other current areas of metallobiochemistry, a maturing field, but in addition to further developments of structure-function relationships it has also provided a number of surprising new results and ideas in the last few years.

Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors

TL;DR: A carbonic anhydrase IX (CA IX) inhibitor is a compound of general formula: R-NH-CX-NH-(CH 2 ) n -Ar-Q-SO 2 -NH 2 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, derivative or prodrug thereof.

Fluorescent detection of zinc in biological systems: recent development on the design of chemosensors and biosensors

TL;DR: In this article, the progress made in the past decade or so, focusing on sensor design strategy based on molecular structure and fluorescent mechanism is reviewed, and the results show that fluorescent imaging has proven to be the most suitable technique for its in vivo monitoring.

Structure and function of carbonic anhydrases

TL;DR: Structural-based drug design campaigns allowed the discovery of highly isoform selective CA inhibitors (CAIs), which may lead to a new generation of drugs targeting these widespread enzymes, and the use of CAs in CO2 capture processes for mitigating the global temperature rise has also been investigated more recently.

Carbonic Anhydrase as a Model for Biophysical and Physical-Organic Studies of Proteins and Protein–Ligand Binding

TL;DR: Carbonic anhydrase is a protein that is especially well-suited to serve as a model in many types of studies in biophysics, bioanalysis, the physical-organic chemistry of inhibitor design, and medicinal chemistry.

Mechanism of Nitrogen Excitation in the Night Sky

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the three-body collision and showed that in such a collision the energy made available is D = 7·05 volts and the corresponding quantum number υ2 is at most equal to 5.
