α-Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) have been found in many living species, such as vertebrates, bacteria, and green plants. A comparison of the biochemical and structural features of these enzymes isolated from diverse sources reveals a substantial similarity, although small changes are present which reflect the different roles that α-CAs play in the various organisms. In this chapter, we provide a comprehensive overview of the existing literature data on these enzymes, highlighting their potential biomedical and biotechnological applications. |
