Capsaicin: A Potent Inhibitor of Carbonic Anhydrase Isoenzymes
Carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) is a zinc containing metalloenzyme that catalyzes the rapid and reversible conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) into a proton (H+) and bicarbonate (HCO3–) ion. On the other hand, capsaicin is the main component in hot chili peppers and is used extens...
