Abstract excerpt
Previous studies shows that the replacement of Phe-198 in carbonic anhydrase III to the corresponding Leu residue found in carbonic anhydrase II caused the appearance of isozyme II-like activity (LoGrasso et al. (1991) Biochemistry 30, 8463-8470). Carbonic anhydrase II is more efficient in the catalysis of CO2 hydration by 500-fold and has an apparent pKa for this catalysis about two pKa units above that of...
