Researchers have discovered a new group of carbonic anhydrase enzymes that do not require any metal ions for their activity, which improves our knowledge of the global carbon cycle and may be ...

CARBONIC anhydrase is a zinc metalloenzyme that reversibly catalyzes the hydration of carbon dioxide to bicarbonate and hydrogen ions according to the following equation 1: Blood was obtained from ...

The imperative to mitigate climate change has spurred extensive research into carbon dioxide capture technologies. Among the most promising strategies is the employment of carbonic anhydrase (CA), a ...

A team of researchers, led by Professor Chae Un Kim from the Department of Physics at UNIST, has successfully tracked the catalytic pathway of carbonic anhydrase II (CAII), an enzyme that converts ...

A series of nanoscopic membranes made of water saturated by an enzyme naturally developed over millions of years to clear CO2 empties coal smoke of the greenhouse gas more cheaply and efficiently than ...

WE have shown previously that carbonic anhydrase is a zinc-protein compound 1,2 and this was confirmed by other workers 3,4'. That the catalytic activity of carbonic anhydrase, unlike the ...

Researchers reveal how bacterial organelles self-assemble, uncovering enzyme structures that could drive advances in carbon capture, crop yields, and sustainable materials. (Nanowerk News) The ...

image: Researchers from the University of Tsukuba have identified a new type of carbonic anhydrase enzyme that can convert CO2 to HCO3- without the use of a metal ion. This discovery not only ...
