## Abstract The tumorβassociated carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) isozyme CA IX is highly overexpressed in many cancer types via the hypoxia inducible factorβ1Ξ± (HIFβ1Ξ±) cascade. Hypoxic tumors expressing CA IX show a poor response to classical chemoβ and radioβtherapy treatments. CA IX signific
A new model for catalysis of human carbonic anhydrase II is suggested. The model is based on the X-ray structure of the hydrogen bond network in the catalytic site. The outer part of the network is proposed to adjust the pK a of the catalytic site to the experimentally observed value of about 7. The
## Abstract Carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) are a family of enzymes widespread in all life kingdoms. In mammals, isozyme CA IX is highly overexpressed in many cancer types being present in few normal tissues. Its expression is strongly induced by hypoxia present in many tumors, being regulate
## Abstract A practical laboratory experiment is described that illustrates the application of fluorescence resonance energy transfer to the study of proteinβligand binding. The affinities of wildβtype and mutant human carbonic anhydrase II for dansylamide were determined by monitoring the increase
