Preparation and characterization of hydroxo-zinc(II) complex surrounded with hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interaction groups. A structural/functional model of carbonic anhydrases
A novel Zn(II)-OH complex surrounded with hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interaction groups has been prepared as a structural/functional model of carbonic anhydrases, and characterized by X-ray structure analysis and ESIMS and H-1- and C-13-NMR spectroscopies. The complex has been found to exhibit a reversible binding of CO2.
