Abstract
Carbonic anhydrase (CA; EC 4.2.4.1), metalloenzyme, can catalyze reversible hydration of CO2 (CO2 + H2O ↔ H+ + HCO3 -) with high efficiency (kcat ~106 s-1) and plays fundamental roles in many biological processes like photosynthesis, respiration, pH homeostasis and ion transport. Recently, CA has been considered as an important biocatalyst for CO2 sequestration technology because the accumulation of CO2 is the main cause for global climate change and it is critical to develop technologies that can reduce atmospheric CO2 level. This review deals with the classes and mechanisms of several CAs as CO2 capture agents
