pubmed:abstractText
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 p K(a) of the catalytic site to the experimentally observed value of about 7. The inner part of the network is proposed to become a low-barrier hydrogen bond network in the transition state. The energy released in forming the low-barrier hydrogen bond network is used to catalyse the interconversion of CO(2) and HCO(3)(-). The suggested molecular mechanism is consistent with the generally accepted kinetic scheme for human carbonic anhydrase II.
