Fungal and Protozoan Carbonic Anhydrases, Volume 57
in The Enzymes series, explores recent advancements in the study of fungal and protozoan carbonic anhydrases (CAs).
This volume presents a comprehensive collection of chapters covering various aspects of these enzymes, including an overview of fungal and protozoan CAs (genetics, molecular biology, and phylogenetics), the structure and function of fungal α-carbonic anhydrases, and an in-depth look at β-carbonic anhydrases in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida spp.
, and Cryptococcus neoformans.
Additional chapters delve into the Malassezia spp.
and Sordaria macrospora CAs, as well as protozoan CAs from Plasmodium falciparum, Trypanosoma cruzi, Leishmania spp.
, Toxoplasma gondii, and Entamoeba histolytica.
The volume also addresses the challenges in developing selective fungal and protozoal CA inhibitors as anti-infective agents, providing insights into their potential biomedical applications.
