Carbonic anhydrase mimics with rationally designed active sites for fine-tuned catalytic activity and selectivity in ester hydrolysis

Numerous hydrolytic enzymes utilize zinc as a cofactor for catalysis. We here report water-soluble polymeric nanoparticles with zinc ions in active sites and a nearby base as a mimic of carbonic anhydrase (CA). Their pK(a) of 6.3–6.4 for zinc-bound water is lower than the 6.8–7.3 value for natural e...
