Fast and efficient handling of ligands biological targets are required in bioaffinity screening based on native electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). We use a prototype microfluidic autosampler, called the “gap sampler”, to sequentially mix individual small molecule together with target protein compare results data from thermal shift assay surface plasmon resonance. In first round...

Combinatorial small molecule growth algorithm was used to design inhibitors for human carbonic anhydrase II. Two enantiomeric candidate molecules were predicted to bind with high potency (with R isomer binding stronger than S), but in two distinct conformations. The experiments verified that computational predictions concerning the binding affinities and the binding modes were correct for both ...

The denaturation and renaturation of bovine carbonic anhydrase B is a thermodynamically reversible process, uncomplicated by aggregation or disuhide bond formation. The reaction is less cooperative than is the unfolding and refolding of most globular proteins, in that distinct successive stages can be observed both in equilibrium and kinetic measurements. This enzyme is therefore ideally suited...

Bromoacetazolamide effects rather quickly a partial, and more slowly an almost complete, irreversible inactivation of bovine carbonic anhydrase B (EC 4.2.1.1). Under identical conditions, the enzyme is not inactivated by bromoacetic acid or iodoacetamide, nor does it react significantly with these compounds. The zinc-free enzyme does not undergo irreversible binding with W-bromoacetazolamide an...

Davenport and Fisher (1938) reported the discovery DOGS P School of Medicine of large amounts of carbonic anhydrase in the gastric mucosa of cats, rats and rabbits. Davenport (1939) demonstrated that carbonic anhydrase is present in high concentration in the parietal cells and in lower concentration in the cells of the surface epithelium of the gastric mucosa of cats and rats. When those invest...
