Chapter 9, Problem 8P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

An explanation corresponding to the fact that the high concentration metal chelator EDTA treatment of carbonic anhydrase results in the loss of activity is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The biological catalysts which lower the minimum amount of energy required by the reactants to convert into product are known as enzymes. An enzyme does not alter the potential energy of reactant and product. Carbonic anhydrase is an enzyme that is used as a catalytic for the interconversion between ${\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}$, ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$ and the carbonic acid dissociated ions.
