An enzyme in disguise

The enzyme carbonic anhydrase binds its zinc ion by three histidine residues in a similar manner to the way copper is bound to nitrite reductase. This remote similarity has now been shown to be real [Andring et al. (2020). IUCrJ, 7, 287–293]. A carbonic anhydrase with two bound copper ions is also a...

Sumario:The enzyme carbonic anhydrase binds its zinc ion by three histidine residues in a similar manner to the way copper is bound to nitrite reductase. This remote similarity has now been shown to be real [Andring et al. (2020). IUCrJ, 7, 287–293]. A carbonic anhydrase with two bound copper ions is also a nitrite reductase.
