Carbonic Anhydrase: Its Inhibitors and Activators provides a state-of-the-art overview of the latest developments and challenges in carbonic anhydrase research. Authors describe the mechanisms of action of specific inhibitors in relation to physiological function, and present previously unpublished research on CA activators. Written by a team of internationally recognized experts, this authoritative edition is a leading reference for bioscientists across many disciplines, as well as novices interested in the latest developments in this complex field. An understanding of the mechanisms through which carbonic anhydrases interact with their inhibitors and activators in complex biological environments is essential in developing novel therapeutic agents for the treatment of disease.
