摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter reviews the application of an 18 O exchange method to study catalysis hydration CO 2 by carbonic anhydrase, which, with a maximal turnover number near 10 6 sec –1 , is one fastest known enzymic reactions. The so rapid that proton transfer steps between enzyme and its environment, which are not ordinarily rate limiting for slower reactions, become rate-limiting more amenable investigation anhydrase. chosen investigate this problem because it equilibrium may be used in absence buffer or presence excess concentration, buffers sources protons enzyme. With method, possible elucidate role pathway catalytic . A further result fate oxygen can followed; hence, reveals release from water bearing substrate oxygen, when O-labeled bicarbonate.
