Figure 5From: Modification of carbonic anhydrase II with acetaldehyde, the first metabolite of ethanol, leads to decreased enzyme activityCarbonic anhydrase activity of human recombinant CA II treated with various concentrations of acetaldehyde (AA) in the presence or absence of a reducing agent, 10 mM NaBH 3 (CN). The activity assay was performed using a previously described assay method of Maren [44, 45]. The obtained values from three assays are indicated as mean +/- standard deviation.Back to article page
