MCQ
Which one is the cofactor of carbonic anhydrase?
- A$Fe$
- ✓$Zn$
- C$Cu$
- D$Mg$
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
$Zn$
A non protein part of enzyme which is necessary for activity of protein/enzyme is known as co factor.
Mostly, inorganic ions serve as cofactors. Carbonic anhydrase catalyzed hydration of carbon dioxide into bicarbonate ions and protons.
Cofactor of carbonic anhydrase is $\mathrm{Zn}^2+$ ions.
