Abstract excerpt
There are several evolutionarily invariant amino acids in the primary structures of all known isoenzymes of carbonic anhydrase. One of these is Ser-29 which is situated in the peripheral part of the active site interacting by hydrogen bonds with amino acids located nearby in the tertiary structure. Furthermore, the neighbourhood of Ser-29, composed of Gln-28, Pro-30, Tyr-194, Ser-197 and Trp-209, has a totally...
