## 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
Three isoenzymes of human carbonic anhydrase (HCA) have been described (designated HCA-I, HCA-I1 and HCA-111). HCA exists as a single polypeptide chain
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
