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 inhibitors show potential in reducing tau protein buildup, offering new therapeutic avenues for neurodegenerative diseases like tauopathies.

They discovered that drugs known as carbonic anhydrase inhibitors – of which the glaucoma drug methazolamide is one – clear tau build-up and reduce signs of the disease in zebrafish and mice ...

WE have shown previously that carbonic anhydrase is a zinc-protein compound1,2 and this was confirmed by other workers3,4'. That the catalytic activity of carbonic anhydrase, unlike the ...

Researchers found that Bacillus megaterium can turn over 94% of CO₂ into solid rock using a clean, non-ammonia process.

Carbonic anhydrase catalyzes the conversion of CO 2 and water into carbonic acid, as well as the reverse reaction. Saipem uses the reactions to capture and collect CO 2 from industrial gas streams.

U.S. Patent 10,780,094 issued September 22, 2020 (Title: Use of Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors for Treatment of Neurological and Psychiatric Disorders) Inventor: Silvia Fossati.

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 ...
