	'''Structure of Carbonic Anhydrase'''		'''Structure of Carbonic Anhydrase'''
	The structure of carbonic anhydrase is unique. Its active site which is a zinc ion is the key to the enzymes function. Zinc is a positive cahrged ion which allows it to break down the carbon dioxide. In the center of the structure there is a beta sheet which is bound to three nirtogen atoms (94,96, and 119).
