Oxidative stress emerges as a critical mechanism underlying the development and
progression of various brain diseases, arising from either increased generation of reactive …

Baking soda and vinegar have been used as home remedies for generations and today we
are only a mouse-click away from claims that baking soda, lemon juice, and apple cider …

The major transmembrane protein of the red blood cell, known as band 3, AE1, and
SLC4A1, has two main functions: 1) catalysis of Cl−/HC O 3− exchange, one of the steps in …

Background Carbonic anhydrases catalyze CO2/HCO3–buffer reactions with implications for
effective H+ mobility, pH dynamics, and cellular acid–base sensing. Yet, the integrated …

While the carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2. 1.1) superfamily of enzymes has been described
primarily as involved only in pH regulation for decades, it also has many other important …

Carbon dioxide (CO2) movement across cellular membranes is passive and governed by
Fick's law of diffusion. Until recently, we believed that gases cross biological membranes …

Human carbonic anhydrase II (hCAII) is a metalloenzyme essential to critical physiological
processes in the body. hCA inhibitors are used clinically for the treatment of indications …

Inflammation, although necessary to fight infections, becomes a threat when it exceeds the
capability of the immune system to control it. In addition, inflammation is a cause and/or …

ABSTRACT A descriptive model of calcification in the coralline red algae is integral to
understanding their contributions to marine geochemistry, the responses of seascapes to …

Introduction This review offers an updated perspective on the biomedical applications of
prokaryotic carbonic anhydrases (CAs), emphasizing their potential as targets for drug …
