Deskripsi

Metalloenzymes often show different catalytic activities in the presence of non-native metal ions. Here, the authors report structures of carbonic anhydrase bound to zinc and several other metal ions and demonstrate that metal ion coordination geometries directly impact catalytic activity of the enzyme.
