Description

Ec 4.2.1.1 CAS NO 9001-03-0 is a high-purity, lyophilized preparation of the enzyme Carbonic Anhydrase. This biocatalyst is essential for the rapid interconversion of carbon dioxide and water into carbonic acid, protons, and bicarbonate ions. It is a critical reagent for research, diagnostic applications, and industrial processes requiring precise pH modulation or CO₂ management. Key industries utilizing this enzyme include pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and environmental monitoring.

Application

• Diagnostic Reagent Manufacturing: Used as a key component in clinical chemistry kits for the determination of electrolytes (e.g., CO₂ content in blood serum).
• Biochemical Research & Assay Development: Serves as a model enzyme for studying enzyme kinetics, inhibition, and zinc metalloenzyme mechanisms.
• Pharmaceutical Synthesis: Employed as a biocatalyst in synthetic pathways where controlled hydration of CO₂ or related substrates is required.
• Carbon Capture & Sequestration (CCS) Research: Investigated for enhancing the rate of CO₂ absorption and conversion in biomimetic carbon capture systems.
• Industrial Gas Scrubbing: Explored in processes for the removal of carbon dioxide from gas streams in controlled environments.
• Ophthalmology Research: Used in studies related to intraocular pressure and the development of carbonic anhydrase inhibitors for glaucoma treatment.
