  1. Kinetic parameters for the human cytosolic isozymes human HCA I and II (α-class CAs) at 20°C and pH 7.5 in 10 mM HEPES buffer and 20 mM Na2SO4, in addition to the β-CAs Can2, Nce103 (from C. neoformans and C. albicans, respectively), ScCA (from S. cerevisiae), CgCA (from C. glabrata) and DmBCA (from Drosophila melanogaster) measured at 20°C, pH 8.3 in 20 mM Tris buffer and 20 mM NaClO4 are shown. Inhibition data with the clinically used sulfonamide acetazolamide (5-acetamido-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-sulfonamide) are also provided.
