The carbonic anhydrase belongs to the family which depicts structural diversity. Metalloenzymes that catalyze the reversible hydration of CO2 and bicarbonate. They are categorized into five distinct classes (α, β, γ, δ, and ζ). Among these, the αCAs are found primarily in vertebrates, the βCAs are dominantly expressed in higher plants and some prokaryotes, while γCAs are present only in archaebacteria, and the δ and ζ classes have thus far been only isolated in diatoms.
Molecule is a fundamental unit of a chemical compound made up of group of atoms bonded together that can take part in a chemical reaction. It is electrically neutral in nature. For example, H2 is a molecule which has two hydrogen atoms.
