Abstract

Since the discovery, almost 70 years ago, of the enzyme carbonic anhydrase (CA), which plays an important role in the red blood cell by catalyzing the hydration of carbon dioxide (CO2 + H2O ↔ HCO– 3+ H+), a fascinating and complex story has unfolded of three enzyme families performing numerous functions in many different organisms.
