'''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 charged ion which allows it to break down the carbon dioxide. In the center of the structure there is a <scene name='Sandbox_66/Beta_sheets/1'>beta sheet</scene> which is bound to three nitrogen atoms (94,96, and 119). | The structure of carbonic anhydrase is unique.
