Abstract
Any proposed model for the active site structure and the mechanism of action of carbonic anhydrase should take into account those experimental data which are more directly related to the metal ion environment. In particular, water proton relaxation measurements of solutions of carbonic anhydrase derivatives containing paramagnetic metal ions constitute one of the most reliable insights into the solvation of the metal itself and the possible hydrogen ion equilibria involved (Fabry et al., 1970).
