Detailed explanation-1: -Carbonic anhydrase is an enzyme that assists rapid inter-conversion of carbon dioxide and water into carbonic acid, protons and bicarbonate ions. This enzyme was first identified in 1933, in red blood cells of cows.
Detailed explanation-2: -Carbon dioxide combines with water to form carbonic acid, a reaction accelerated by carbonic anhydrase. The carbonic acid then freely dissociates (Equation 1).
Detailed explanation-3: -Carbonic Anhydrase Reaction The enzyme carbonic anhydrase catalyzes the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into bicarbonate ions. The carbonic anhydrase formula demonstrates the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into carbonic acid, which is then converted to hydrogen ions and bicarbonate ions.
