Carbonic Anhydrase Activity Assay kit

Carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC4.2.1.1) is a metalloenzyme with Zn2+ as the active center, whichcan efficiently catalyze the reversible hydration reaction of CO2: CO2+H2O ?HCO3-+H+ at a rate of 107 times higher than that under natural conditions, which is one of the fastest known enzymes. It isone of the fastest known enzymes. Carbonic anhydrase can catalyze the reaction of p-nitrophenyl acetate to formp-nitrophenol,and the rate of increase of absorbance value at 405 nm reflects the activity of carbonic anhydrase
