Produktbeschreibung

Carbonic anhydrase (CA) is a seemingly ubiquitous enzyme, of profound physiological importance, which plays essential roles in respiration, acid-base homeostasis, bone resorption, calcification, photosynthesis, several biosynthetic pathways and a variety of processes involving ion, gas and fluid transfer. This volume provides a comprehensive, up-to-date account of all aspects of this fascinating enzyme...
