Abstract
Carbonic Anhydrases (CAs) have been a target for de novo protein designers due to the simplicity of the active site and rapid rate of the reaction. The first reported mimic contained a Zn(II) bound to three histidine imidazole nitrogens and an exogenous water molecule, hence closely mimicking the native enzymes' first coordination sphere. Co(II) has served as an alternative metal to interrogate CAs due to its d7 electronic configuration for more detailed solution characterization. We present here the Co(II) substituted [Co(II)(H2O/OH-)]N(TRIL2WL23H)3 n+ that behaves similarly to native Co(II) substituted human-CAs. Like the Zn(II) analogue, the cobalt-derivative at slightly basic pH is incapable of hydrolyzing p-nitrophenylacetate (pNPA); however, as the pH is increased a significant activity develops, which at pH values above 10 eventually yields a catalytic efficiency that exceeds that of the [Zn(II)(OH-)]N(TRIL2WL23H)3 + peptide complex. X-ray absorption analysis is consistent with an octahedral species at pH 7.5 that converts to a 5-coordinate species by pH 11. UV-vis spectroscopy can monitor this transition, giving a pKa for the conversion of 10.3. We assign this conversion to the formation of a 5-coordinate Co(II)(Nimid)3(OH)(H2O) species. The pH dependent kinetic analysis indicates the maximal rate (kcat), and thus the catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km), follow the same pH profile as the spectroscopic conversion to the pentacoordinate species. This correlation suggests that the chemically irreversible ester hydrolysis corresponds to the rate determining process.

Abstract
Solid state NMR (SSNMR) has earned a substantial success in the characterization of paramagnetic systems over the last decades. Nowadays, the resolution and sensitivity of solid state NMR in biological molecules has improved significantly and these advancements can be translated into the study of paramagnetic biomolecules. However, the electronic properties of different metal centers affect the quality of their SSNMR spectra differently, and not all systems turn out to be equally easy to approach by this technique. In this review we will try to give an overview of the properties of different paramagnetic centers and how they can be used to increase the chances of experimental success.

Abstract
Partial symmetry, i.e., the presence of more than one molecule in the asymmetric unit of a crystal, is a relatively rare phenomenon in small-molecule crystallography, but is quite common in protein crystallography, where it is typically known as non-crystallographic symmetry (NCS). Several papers in literature propose molecular determinants such as crystal contacts, thermal factors, or TLS parameters as an explanation for the phenomenon of intrinsic asymmetry among molecules that are in principle equivalent. Nevertheless, are all of the above determinants the cause or are they rather the effect? In the general frame of the NCS often observed in crystals of biomolecules, this paper deals with nickel(II)-substituted human carbonic anhydrase(II) (hCAII) and its SAD structure determination at the nickel edge. The structure revealed two non-equivalent molecules in the asymmetric unit, the presence of a secondary nickel-binding site at the N-terminus of both molecules (which had never been found before in the nickel-substituted enzyme) and two different coordination geometries of the active site nickel (hexa-coordinated in one molecule and mainly penta-coordinated in the other). The above-mentioned standard molecular crystallographic determinants of this asymmetry are analyzed and presented in detail for this particular case. From these considerations, we speculate on the existence of a fundamental, although yet unknown, common cause for the partial symmetry that is so often encountered in X-ray structures of biomolecules.

Abstract
Solid-state NMR is becoming a powerful tool to detect atomic-level structural features of biomolecules even when they are bound to (or trapped in) solid systems that lack long-range three-dimensional order. We here demonstrate that it is possible to probe protein-ligand interactions from a protein-based perspective also when the protein is entrapped in silica, thus translating into biomolecular solid-state NMR all of the considerations that are usually made to understand the chemical nature of the interaction of a protein with its ligands. This work provides a proof of concept that also immobilized enzymes can be used for protein-based NMR protein-ligand interactions for drug discovery.

Abstract
The incorporation of a synthetic, catalytically competent metallocofactor into a protein scaffold to generate an artificial metalloenzyme (ArM) has been explored since the late 1970's. Progress in the ensuing years was limited by the tools available for both organometallic synthesis and protein engineering. Advances in both of these areas, combined with increased appreciation of the potential benefits of combining attractive features of both homogeneous catalysis and enzymatic catalysis, led to a resurgence of interest in ArMs starting in the early 2000's. Perhaps the most intriguing of potential ArM properties is their ability to endow homogeneous catalysts with a genetic memory. Indeed, incorporating a homogeneous catalyst into a genetically encoded scaffold offers the opportunity to improve ArM performance by directed evolution. This capability could, in turn, lead to improvements in ArM efficiency similar to those obtained for natural enzymes, providing systems suitable for practical applications and greater insight into the role of second coordination sphere interactions in organometallic catalysis. Since its renaissance in the early 2000's, different aspects of artificial metalloenzymes have been extensively reviewed and highlighted. Our intent is to provide a comprehensive overview of all work in the field up to December 2016, organized according to reaction class. Because of the wide range of non-natural reactions catalyzed by ArMs, this was done using a functional-group transformation classification. The review begins with a summary of the proteins and the anchoring strategies used to date for the creation of ArMs, followed by a historical perspective. Then follows a summary of the reactions catalyzed by ArMs and a concluding critical outlook. This analysis allows for comparison of similar reactions catalyzed by ArMs constructed using different metallocofactor anchoring strategies, cofactors, protein scaffolds, and mutagenesis strategies. These data will be used to construct a searchable Web site on ArMs that will be updated regularly by the authors.

Abstract
The binding of anions to carbonic anhydrase II (CA II) has been attributed to high affinity for the active-site zinc. An anion of interest is cyanate, for which contrasting binding modes have been reported in the literature. Previous spectroscopic data have shown cyanate behaving as an inhibitor, directly binding to the zinc, in contrast to previous crystallographic data that implied that cyanate acts as a substrate mimic that is not directly bound to the zinc but overlaps with the binding site of the substrate CO2. Wild-type and the V207I variant of CA II have been expressed and X-ray crystal structures of their cyanate complexes have been determined to 1.7 and 1.5 Å resolution, respectively. The rationale for the V207I CA II variant was its close proximity to the CO2-binding site. Both structures clearly show that the cyanate binds directly to the zinc. In addition, inhibition constants (∼40 µM) were measured using (18)O-exchange mass spectrometry for wild-type and V207I CA II and were similar to those determined previously (Supuran et al., 1997). Hence, it is concluded that under the conditions of these experiments the binding of cyanate to CA II is directly to the zinc, displacing the zinc-bound solvent molecule, and not in a site that overlaps with the CO2 substrate-binding site.

Abstract
Cobalt(II)-substituted Haemophilus influenzae β-carbonic anhydrase (HICA) has been produced by overexpression in minimal media supplemented with CoCl(2), enabling kinetic, structural, and spectroscopic characterization. Co(II)-substituted HICA (Co-HICA) has comparable catalytic activity to that of wild-type enzyme with k(cat)=82±19 ms(-1) (120% of wild-type). The X-ray crystal structure of Co-HICA was determined to 2.5Å resolution, and is similar to the zinc enzyme. The absorption spectrum of Co-HICA is consistent with four-coordinate geometry. pH-dependent changes in the absorption spectrum of Co-HICA, including an increase in molar absorptivity and a red shift of a 580 nm peak with decreasing pH, correlate with the pH dependence of k(cat)/K(m). The absence of isosbestic points in the pH-dependent absorption spectra suggest that more than two absorbing species are present. The addition of bicarbonate ion at pH 8.0 triggers spectral changes in the metal coordination sphere that mimic that of lowering pH, supporting its hypothesized role as an allosteric inhibitor of HICA. Homogeneously (99±1% Co) and heterogeneously (52±5% Co) substituted Co-HICA have distinctly different colors and absorption spectra, suggesting that the metal ions in the active sites in the allosteric dimer of Co-HICA engage in intersubunit communication.

Abstract
The visible absorption of crystals of Co(II)-substituted human carbonic anhydrase II (Co(II)-HCA II) were measured over a pH range of 6.0-11.0 giving an estimate of pK(a) 8.4 for the ionization of the metal-bound water in the crystal. This is higher by about 1.2 pK(a) units than the pK(a) near 7.2 for Co(II)-CA II in solution. This effect is attributed to a nonspecific ionic strength effect of 1.4M citrate in the precipitant solution used in the crystal growth. A pK(a) of 8.3 for the aqueous ligand of the cobalt was measured for Co(II)-HCA II in solution containing 0.8M citrate. Citrate is not an inhibitor of the catalytic activity of Co(II)-HCA II and was not observed in crystal structures. The X-ray structures at 1.5-1.6A resolution of Co(II)-HCA II were determined for crystals prepared at pH 6.0, 8.5 and 11.0 and revealed no conformational changes of amino-acid side chains as a result of the use of citrate. However, the studies of Co(II)-HCA II did reveal a change in metal coordination from tetrahedral at pH 11 to a coordination consistent with a mixed population of both tetrahedral and penta-coordinate at pH 8.5 to an octahedral geometry characteristic of the oxidized enzyme Co(III)-HCA II at pH 6.0.

Abstract
Acetonitrile hydratase (ANHase) of Rhodococcus jostii RHA1 is a cobalt-containing enzyme with no significant sequence identity with characterized nitrile hydratases. The ANHase structural genes anhA and anhB are separated by anhE, predicted to encode an 11.1-kDa polypeptide. An anhE deletion mutant did not grow on acetonitrile but grew on acetamide, the ANHase reaction product. Growth on acetonitrile was restored by providing anhE in trans. AnhA could be used to assemble ANHase in vitro, provided the growth medium was supplemented with 50 microM CoCl(2). Ten- to 100-fold less CoCl(2) sufficed when anhE was co-expressed with anhA. Moreover, AnhA contained more cobalt when produced in cells containing AnhE. Chromatographic analyses revealed that AnhE existed as a monomer-dimer equilibrium (100 mm phosphate, pH 7.0, 25 degrees C). Divalent metal ions including Co(2+), Cu(2+), Zn(2+), and Ni(2+) stabilized the dimer. Isothermal titration calorimetry studies demonstrated that AnhE binds two half-equivalents of Co(2+) with K(d) of 0.12 +/- 0.06 nM and 110 +/- 35 nM, respectively. By contrast, AnhE bound only one half-equivalent of Zn(2+) (K(d) = 11 +/- 2 nM) and Ni(2+) (K(d) = 49 +/- 17 nM) and did not detectably bind Cu(2+). Substitution of the sole histidine residue did not affect Co(2+) binding. Holo-AnhE had a weak absorption band at 490 nM (epsilon = 9.7 +/- 0.1 m(-1) cm(-1)), consistent with hexacoordinate cobalt. The data support a model in which AnhE acts as a dimeric metallochaperone to deliver cobalt to ANHase. This study provides insight into the maturation of NHases and metallochaperone function.

Abstract
Human carbonic anhydrase II (HCA II) is a monomeric zinc-containing metalloenzyme that catalyzes the hydration of CO(2) to form bicarbonate and a proton. The properties of the zinc have been extensively elucidated in catalysis but less well studied as a contributor to structure and stability. Apo-HCA II (without zinc) was prepared and compared to holo-HCA II: in crystallographic structural features, in backbone amide H/D exchange, and in thermal stability. The removal of zinc from the active site has no effect on either the topological fold of the enzyme or the ordered water network in the active site. However, the removal of the zinc alters the collective electrostatics of the apo-HCA II that result in the following differences from that of the holoenzyme: (1) the main thermal unfolding transition of the apo-HCA II is lowered by 8 degrees C, (2) the relative increase in thermal mobility of atoms of the apo-HCA II was not observed in the vicinity of the active site but manifested on the surface of the enzyme, and (3) the side chain of His 64, the proton shuttle residue that sits on the rim of the active site, is oriented outward and is associated with additional ordered "external" waters, as opposed to a near equal inward and outward orientation in the holo-HCA II.

Abstract
In an effort to probe the role of the Zn(II) sites in metallo-beta-lactamase L1, mononuclear metal ion containing and heterobimetallic analogues of the enzyme were generated and characterized using kinetic and spectroscopic studies. Mononuclear Zn(II)-containing L1, which binds Zn(II) in the consensus Zn1 site, was shown to be slightly active; however, this enzyme did not stabilize a nitrocefin-derived reaction intermediate that had been previously detected. Mononuclear Co(II)- and Fe(III)-containing L1 were essentially inactive, and NMR and EPR studies suggest that these metal ions bind to the consensus Zn2 site in L1. Heterobimetallic analogues (ZnCo and ZnFe) analogues of L1 were generated, and stopped-flow kinetic studies revealed that these enzymes rapidly hydrolyze nitrocefin and that there are large amounts of the reaction intermediate formed during the reaction. The heterobimetallic analogues were reacted with nitrocefin, and the reactions were rapidly freeze quenched. EPR studies on these samples demonstrate that Co(II) is 5-coordinate in the resting state, proceeds through a 4-coordinate species during the reaction, and is 5-coordinate in the enzyme-product complex. These studies demonstrate that the metal ion in the Zn1 site is essential for catalysis in L1 and that the metal ion in the Zn2 site is crucial for stabilization of the nitrocefin-derived reaction intermediate.

Abstract
A new bis-N,N'-(5-methylimidazol-4-ylmethyl) derivative of a 14-membered tetraazamacrocycle, L1, has been synthesized. The protonation constants of this compound and the stability constants of its complexes with divalent first-row transition metal ions and Fe3+ were determined at 298.2 K in aqueous 0.10 mol dm(-3) KNO3. Compound L1 exhibits high overall basicity, which is mainly conferred by the imidazolyl groups. The complexes of the divalent first row-transition metal ions of L1 follow the Irving-Williams order of stability with the maximum for Cu2+ as expected, but a steep fall of constants is verified for the Mn2+, Fe2+ and Co2+, in one side, and for the Zn2+ complexes, in the other side. Additionally, L1 shows a large affinity for Fe3+, and the relative stability constants for its Cd2+ and Pb2+ complexes indicate that L1 may be useful for the complexometric determination of these two toxic metal ions in solutions containing both metal ions. These studies together with NMR, UV-vis and EPR spectroscopic data indicated the presence of mononuclear complexes, which adopt distorted pyramidal or octahedral geometries depending on the metal centre. The X-ray crystal structure of [Cu(HL1)](PF6)2(NO3).H2O showed that the coordination sphere of the copper centre can be described as a distorted square pyramid with the basal plane defined by three nitrogen donors of the macrocycle backbone and one nitrogen atom from one imidazolyl pendant arm. The apical position is occupied by the nitrogen atom of the macrocycle trans to the pyridine ring. To achieve this coordination environment, the macrocycle is folded along the axis defined by the two N atoms contiguous to the pyridine ring. The free methylimidazolyl arm points away from the metal centre leading to an intramolecular Cu[dot dot dot]N distance of 5.155(1) A.

Abstract
Foscarnet (phosphonoformate trisodium salt), an antiviral used for the treatment of HIV and herpes virus infections, also acts as an activator or inhibitor of the metalloenzyme carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1). Interaction of the drug with 11 CA isozymes has been investigated kinetically, and the X-ray structure of its adduct with isoform I (hCA I-foscarnet complex) has been resolved. The first CA inhibitor possessing a phosphonate zinc-binding group is thus evidenced, together with the factors governing recognition of such small molecules by a metalloenzyme active site. Foscarnet is also a clear-cut example of modulator of an enzyme activity which can act either as an activator or inhibitor of a CA isozyme.

Abstract
In the site-specific mutant of human carbonic anhydrase in which the proton shuttle His64 is replaced with alanine, H64A HCA II, catalysis can be activated in a saturable manner by the proton donor 4-methylimidazole (4-MI). From 1H NMR relaxivities, we found 4-MI bound as a second-shell ligand of the tetrahedrally coordinated cobalt in Co(II)-substituted H64A HCA II, with 4-MI located about 4.5 A from the metal. Binding constants of 4-MI to H64A HCA II were estimated from: (1) NMR relaxation of the protons of 4-MI by Co(II)-H64A HCA II, (2) the visible absorption spectrum of Co(II)-H64A HCA II in the presence of 4-MI, (3) the inhibition by 4-MI of the catalytic hydration of CO2, and (4) from the catalyzed exchange of 18O between CO2 and water. These experiments along with previously reported crystallographic and catalytic data help identify a range of distances at which proton transfer is efficient in carbonic anhydrase II.

Abstract
The inhibition of five human carbonic anhydrase (hCA, EC 4.2.1.1) isozymes, the cytosolic hCA I and II, the membrane-bound hCA IV, the mitochondrial hCA V and the tumour associated, transmembrane hCA IX, with complex anions incorporating fluoride, chloride and cyanide, as well as B(III), Si(IV), P(V), As(V), Al(III), Fe(II), Fe(III), Pd(II), Pt(II), Pt(IV), Cu(I), Ag(I), Au(I) and Nb(V) species has been investigated. Apparently, the most important factors influencing activity of these complexes are the nature of the central metal ion/element, and its charge. Geometry of these compounds appears to be less important, since both linear, tetrahedral, octahedral as well as pentagonal bipyramidal derivatives led to effective inhibitors. However, the five isozymes showed very different affinities for these anion inhibitors. The best hCA I inhibitors were cyanide, dicyanocuprate and dicyanoaurate (K(I)s in the range of 0.5-7.7 microM), whereas the least effective were fluoride and hexafluoroarsenate. The best hCA II inhibitors were cyanide, hexafluoroferrate and tetrachloroplatinate (K(I)s in the range of 0.02-0.51 mM), whereas the most ineffective ones were fluoride, hexafluoroaluminate and chloride. The best hCA IV inhibitors were dicyanocuprate (K(I) of 9.8 microM) and hexacyanoferrate(II) (K(I) of 10.0 microM), whereas the worst ones were tetrafluoroborate and hexafluoroaluminate (K(I)s in the range of 124-126 mM). The most effective hCA V inhibitors were cyanide, heptafluoroniobate and dicyanocuprate (K(I)s in the range of 0.015-0.79 mM), whereas the most ineffective ones were fluoride, chloride and tetrafluoroborate (K(I)s in the range of 143-241 mM). The best hCA IX inhibitors were on the other hand cyanide, heptafluoroniobate and dicyanoargentate (K(I)s in the range of 4 microM-0.33 mM), whereas the worst ones were hexacyanoferrate(III) and hexacyanoferrate(II).

Abstract
A detailed inhibition study of five carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) isozymes with carboxylates including aliphatic (formate, acetate), dicarboxylic (oxalate, malonate), hydroxy/keto acids (l-lactate, l-malate, pyruvate), tricarboxylic (citrate), or aromatic (benzoate, tetrafluorobenzoate) representatives, some of which are important intermediates in the Krebs cycle, is presented. The cytosolic isozyme hCA I was strongly activated by acetate, oxalate, pyruvate, l-lactate, and citrate (K(A) around 0.1 microM), whereas formate, malonate, malate, and benzoate were weaker activators (K(A) in the range 0.1-1mM). The cytosolic isozyme hCA II was weakly inhibited by all the investigated anions, with inhibition constants in the range of 0.03-24 mM. The membrane-associated isozyme hCA IV was the most sensitive to inhibition by carboxylates, showing a K(I) of 99 nM for citrate and oxalate, of 2.8 microM for malonate and of 14.5 microM for pyruvate among others. The mitochondrial isozyme hCA V was weakly inhibited by all these carboxylates (K(I)s in the range of 1.67-25.9 mM), with the best inhibitor being citrate (K(I) of 1.67 mM), whereas this is the most resistant CA isozyme to pyruvate inhibition (K(I) of 5.5mM), which may be another proof that CA V is the isozyme involved in the transfer of acetyl groups from the mitochondrion to the cytosol for the provision of substrate(s) for de novo lipogenesis. Furthermore, the relative resistance of CA V to inhibition by pyruvate may be an evolutionary adaptation of this mitochondrial isozyme to the presence of high concentrations of this anion within this organelle. The transmembrane, tumor-associated isozyme hCA IX was similar to isozyme II in its slight inhibition by all these anions (K(I) in the range of 1.12-7.42 mM), except acetate, lactate, and benzoate, which showed a K(I)>150 mM. The lactate insensitivity of CA IX also represents an interesting finding, since it is presumed that this isozyme evolved in such a way as to show a high catalytic activity in hypoxic tumors rich in lactate, and suggests a possible metabolon in which CA IX participates together with the monocarboxylate/H(+) co-transporter in dealing with the high amounts of lactate/H(+) present in tumors.

Abstract
A detailed inhibition study of five carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) isozymes with inorganic phosphates, carbamoyl phosphate, the antiviral phosphonate foscarnet as well as formate is reported. The cytosolic isozyme hCA I was weakly inhibited by neutral phosphate, strongly inhibited by carbamoyl phosphate (K(I) of 9.4 microM), and activated by hydrogen- and dihydrogenphosphate, foscarnet and formate (best activator foscarnet, K(A)=12 microM). The cytosolic isozyme hCA II was weakly inhibited by all the investigated anions, with carbamoyl phosphate showing a K(I) of 0.31 mM. The membrane-associated isozyme hCA IV was the most sensitive to inhibition by phosphates/phosphonates, showing a K(I) of 84 nM for PO(4)(3-), of 9.8 microM for HPO(4)(2-), and of 9.9 microM for carbamoyl phosphate. Foscarnet was the best inhibitor of this isozyme (K(I) of 0.82 mM) highly abundant in the kidneys, which may explain some of the renal side effects of the drug. The mitochondrial isozyme hCA V was weakly inhibited by all phosphates/phosphonates, except carbamoyl phosphate, which showed a K(I) of 8.5 microM. Thus, CA V cannot be the isozyme involved in the carbamoyl phosphate synthetase I biosynthetic reaction, as hypothesized earlier. Furthermore, the relative resistance of CA V to inhibition by inorganic phosphates suggests an evolutionary adaptation of this mitochondrial isozyme to the presence of high concentrations of such anions in these energy-converting organelles, where high amounts of ATP are produced by ATP synthetase, from ADP and inorganic phosphates. The transmembrane, tumor-associated isozyme hCA IX was on the other hand slightly inhibited by all these anions.

Abstract
Carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) are wide-spread enzymes, present in mammals in at least 14 different isoforms. Some of these isozymes are cytosolic (CA I, CA II, CA III, CA VII, CA XIII), others are membrane-bound (CA IV, CA IX, CA XII and CA XIV), CA V is mitochondrial and CA VI is secreted in the saliva and milk. Three cytosolic acatalytic forms are also known (CARP VIII, CARP X and CARP XI). The catalytically active isoforms, which play important physiological and patho-physiological functions, are strongly inhibited by aromatic and heterocyclic sulfonamides. The catalytic and inhibition mechanisms of these enzymes are understood in great detail, and this greatly helped the design of potent inhibitors, some of which possess important clinical applications. The use of such CA inhibitors (CAIs) as antiglaucoma drugs are discussed in detail, together with the recent developments that led to isozyme-specific and organ-selective inhibitors. A recent discovery is connected with the involvement of CAs and their sulfonamide inhibitors in cancer: many potent CAIs were shown to inhibit the growth of several tumor cell lines in vitro and in vivo, thus constituting interesting leads for developing novel antitumor therapies. Future prospects for drug design of inhibitors of these ubiquitous enzymes are dealt with. Although activation of CAs has been a controversial issue for some time, recent kinetic, spectroscopic and X-ray crystallographic experiments offered an explanation of this phenomenon, based on the catalytic mechanism. It has been demonstrated recently, that molecules that act as carbonic anhydrase activators (CAAs) bind at the entrance of the enzyme active site participating in facilitated proton transfer processes between the active site and the reaction medium. In addition to CA II-activator adducts, X-ray crystallographic studies have been also reported for ternary complexes of this isozyme with activators and anion (azide) inhibitors. Structure-activity correlations for diverse classes of activators is discussed for the isozymes for which the phenomenon has been studied, i.e., CA I, II, III and IV. The possible physiological relevance of CA activation/inhibition is also addressed, together with recent pharmacological/ biomedical applications of such compounds in different fields of life sciences.

Abstract
The heptadentate Schiff base H(3)L can react with zinc acetate to form the discrete dinuclear complex Zn(2)L(OAc)(H(2)O), 1.H(2)O. The reaction of 1.H(2)O with NMe(4)OH.5H(2)O both in air and under an argon stream has been investigated. On one hand, this reaction in air yields the tetranuclear complex (Zn(2)L)(2)(CO(3))(H(2)O)(6), 2.5H(2)O, by spontaneous absorption of adventitious carbon dioxide. This process can be reverted in an acetic acid medium, whereas the treatment of 2.5H(2)O with methanoic acid yields crystals of [Zn(2)L(HCOO)].0.5MeCN.1.25MeOH.2H(2)O, 3.0.5MeCN.1.25MeOH.2H(2)O. On the other hand, the interaction under an argon atmosphere of 1.H(2)O with NMe(4)OH.5H(2)O in methanol allows the isolation of the dinuclear complex Zn(2)L(OMe)(H(2)O)(4), 4.4H(2)O. Recrystallisations of 1.H(2)O, 2.5H(2)O and 4.4H(2)O, in different solvents, yielded single crystals of 1.MeCN.2.5H(2)O, 2.4MeOH and 4.3MeOH.H(2)O, respectively. The crystal structure of 2.4MeOH can be understood as resulting from an unusual asymmetric tetranuclear self-assembly from two dinuclear units, and shows three different geometries around the four zinc atoms.

Abstract
A review is presented of quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSARs) of different categories of carbonic anhydrase (CA) inhibitors, which are basically benzenesulfonamides, heterocyclic sulfonamides and aliphatic sulfonamides. The review shows that in all categories, the inhibition potency depends largely on the electronic properties of the sulfonamide group, which can be affected by the electronic characteristics of the substituents present on the nucleus (benzene or heterocyclic ring) of the sulfonamide molecules. Substituents themselves can be involved, along with the nucleus, in some dispersion interaction with the enzyme. Based on this review, a schematic model is presented to represent the interaction of sulfonamides with the CA.

Abstract
The interaction of hydroxyurea with the cytosolic isozymes of carbonic anhydrase (CA), hCA I and hCA II has been investigated by means of kinetic and spectroscopic techniques. Hydroxyurea acts as a weak, non-competitive inhibitor of both isozymes, for the 4-nitrophenyl acetate esterase activity, with inhibition constants around 0.1 mM for both isozymes. The spectrum of the adduct of hydroxyurea with Co(II)-hCA II is similar to the spectra of tetrahedral adducts (such as those with sulfamide, acetazolamide or cyanamide), proving a direct interaction of the inhibitor molecule with the metal center of the enzyme, whose geometry remains tetrahedral. Based on the X-ray crystal structure of the adducts of hCA II with ureate and hydroxamate inhibitors, the hypothetical binding of hydroxyurea is proposed to be achieved in deprotonated state, with the nitrogen atom coordinated to Zn(II), and the OH group of the inhibitor making a hydrogen bond with Thr 199. This binding may be exploited for the design of both CA as well as matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitors, since hydroxyurea is the simplest compound incorporating a hydroxamate functionality in its molecule. Indeed, such inhibitors of the sulfonylated amino acid hydroxamate type have been generated, with potencies in the low nanomolar range for both type of enzymes, CAs and MMPs.

Abstract
At least 14 different carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) isoforms were isolated in higher vertebrates, where these zinc enzymes play crucial physiological roles. Some of these isozymes are cytosolic (CA I, CA II, CA III, CA VII), others are membrane-bound (CA IV, CA IX, CA XII, and CA XIV), CA V is mitochondrial and CA VI is secreted in saliva. Three acatalytic forms are also known, which are denominated CA related proteins (CARP), CARP VIII, CARP X, and CARP XI. Several important physiological and physio-pathological functions are played by many CA isozymes, which are strongly inhibited by aromatic and heterocyclic sulfonamides as well as inorganic, metal complexing anions. The catalytic and inhibition mechanisms of these enzymes are understood in detail, and this helped the design of potent inhibitors, some of which possess important clinical applications. The use of such enzyme inhibitors as antiglaucoma drugs will be discussed in detail, together with the recent developments that led to isozyme-specific and organ-selective inhibitors. A recent discovery is connected with the involvement of CAs and their sulfonamide inhibitors in cancer: several potent sulfonamide inhibitors inhibited the growth of a multitude of tumor cells in vitro and in vivo, thus constituting interesting leads for developing novel antitumor therapies. Furthermore, some other classes of compounds that interact with CAs have recently been discovered, some of which possess modified sulfonamide or hydroxamate moieties. Some sulfonamides have also applications as diagnostic tools, in PET and MRI or as antiepileptics or for the treatment of other neurological disorders. Future prospects for drug design applications for inhibitors of these ubiquitous enzymes are also discussed.

Abstract
A series of half-sandwich copper(II) complexes [TpPh]CuX ([TpPh] = hydrotris(3-phenyl-pyrazolyl)borate; X- = OH- (1), N3- (2), NCS- (3)) have been synthesized as models for carbonic anhydrase. The structure of 3 was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. Crystals of 3 (C37H30BCuN9S) are triclinic, space group P1 with a = 11.997(3) A, b = 12.116(3) A, c = 13.384(4) A, alpha = 81.088(5) degrees, beta = 79.289(6) degrees, gamma = 68.668(5) degrees, V = 1772.4(8) A3, and Z = 2. The dehydration kinetic measurements of HCO3- are performed by the stopped-flow techniques at pH < 7.9. The apparent dehydration rate constant kdobs varies linearly with total Cu(II) concentration, and the catalytic activity of the model complexes decreases in the order 1 > 2 > 3. The catalytic activity decreases with increasing pH indicating that the aqua model complex must be the reactive catalytic species in the catalyzed dehydration reaction and the rate-determining step is the substitution of the labile water molecule by HCO3-. The kdobs values increase with increasing reaction temperature, and the apparent activation energies of the model complexes with inhibitors are remarkably higher than that of the complex with no inhibitors, this being the origin of inhibition. The large negative entropy of activation also indicates an associative mode of activation in the rate-determining step. The inhibition ability of the inhibitor NCS- is stronger than that of the inhibitor N3-, which can be rationalized by the decrease in effective atomic charges of the Cu(II) ions as revealed by the theoretical calculations.

Abstract
A kinetic study of CO(2) hydration was carried out using the water-soluble zinc model complex with water-soluble nitrilotris(2-benzimidazolylmethyl-6-sulfonate) L1S, [L1SZn(OH(2))](-), mimicking the active site of carbonic anhydrase, in the presence and absence of anion inhibitors NCS(-) and Cl(-). The obtained rate constants k(cat) for CO(2) hydration were 5.9x10(2), 1. 7x10(3), and 3.1x10(3) M(-1) s(-1) at 5, 10, and 15 degrees C, respectively: the k(cat)=ca. 10(4) M(-1) s(-1) extrapolated towards 25 degrees C has been the largest among the reported k(cat) using zinc model complexes for carbonic anhydrase. It was also revealed that NCS(-), Cl(-) and acetazolamide play a role of inhibitors by the decrease of k(cat): 7x10(2) and 2x10(3) M(-1) s(-1) for NCS(-) and Cl(-) at 15 degrees C, respectively. The sequence of their magnitudes in k(cat) is Cl(-) approximately acetazolamide>NCS(-), where the sequence Cl(-)>NCS(-) is confirmed for native carbonic anhydrase. The difference of k(cat) or k(obs) between NCS(-) and Cl(-) resulted from that between the stability constants K(st)=2x10(3) for [L1SZn(NCS)](2-) and 1x10(2) M(-1) for [L1SZnCl](2-) in D(2)O: for water-insoluble tris(2-benzimidazolylmethyl)amine L1, K(st)=1.8x10(4) for [L1Zn(NCS)](2-) and 1.5x10(3) M(-1) for [L1ZnCl](2-)in CD(3)CN/D(2)O (50% v/v). The crystal structure of anion-binding zinc model complexes [L1Zn(OH(2))](0.5)[L1ZnCl](0.5) (ClO(4))(1.5) 1(0.5)2(0.5)(ClO(4))(1.5) was revealed by X-ray crystallography. The geometry around Zn(2+) in 1 and 2 was tetrahedrally coordinated by three benzimidazolyl nitrogen atoms and one oxygen atom of H(2)O, or Cl(-).

Abstract
The interaction of human carbonic anhydrase (hCA) isozymes I and II with boron derivatives was investigated by kinetic and spectroscopic studies. These derivatives, tested as new inhibitors of carbonic anhydrase, are sulfonamide and non-sulfonamide boron derivatives and some of them proved to be moderately efficient inhibitors of hCA I and hCA II, their activities being comparable to those of the unsubstituted sulfonamides, the classical inhibitors of these zinc enzymes. Ph(2) BOH, one of the compounds with the highest affinity for hCA II in the present study, has been docked within the active site. After minimisation it was found situated at 7.9 A from zinc, within the hydrophobic half of the active site, in Van der Waals contacts with the amino acid residues: Val 121, Phe 130, Val 135, Leu 141, Val 143, Val 207 and Pro 201. This is the first time that a CA inhibitor has been found to bind at the edge of the active site cavity, similarly to the CA activator histamine, which binds on the hydrophilic half. This finding may be of importance also for the design of novel types of inhibitors with increased affinity for the different CA isozymes.

Abstract
Sulfamide and sulfamic acid are the simplest compounds containing the SO2NH2 moiety, responsible for binding to the Zn(II) ion within carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) active site, and thus acting as inhibitors of the many CA isozymes presently known. Here we describe two novel classes of CA inhibitors obtained by derivatizations of the lead molecules mentioned above. The new compounds, possessing the general formula RSO2NH-SO2X (X = OH, NH2), were obtained by reaction of sulfamide or sulfamic acid with alkyl/arylsulfonyl halides or arylsulfonyl isocyanates. A smaller series of derivatives has been obtained by reaction of aromatic aldehydes with sulfamide, leading to Schiff bases of the type ArCH = NSO2NH2. All the new compounds act as strong inhibitors of isozymes I, II and IV of carbonic anhydrase. Their mechanism of CA inhibition is also discussed based on electronic spectroscopic measurements on adducts with the Co(II)-substituted enzyme. These experiments led to the conclusion that the new inhibitors are directly coordinated (in a monodentate manner) to the metal ion within the enzyme active site, similarly to the classical inhibitors, the aromatic/heterocyclic sulfonamides.

Abstract
A series of phosphorylated aromatic/heterocyclic sulfonamides with the general formula ArSO2NHPO3H2 have been prepared by condensing ArSO2NH2 with phosphorus pentachloride, followed by controlled hydrolysis in the presence of formic acid. The new derivatives generally act as stronger inhibitors of two carbonic anhydrase (CA) isozymes, CA I and CA II, as compared to the parent unsubstituted sulfonamides from which they were obtained. The inhibition mechanism by this new class of CA inhibitors, as well as structure activity correlations for the series of investigated derivatives, are also discussed.

Abstract
Copper(II) complexes of tripeptide derivatives of bis(imidazol-2-yl) group have been studied by potentiometric, UV-visible and EPR spectroscopic methods. The peptide molecules correspond to the amino acid sequence of collagen containing histidyl residues in different locations and were connected to the bis(imidazol-2-yl) group either on the C-termini (BOC-Pro-Leu-His-BIMA, BOC-His-Leu-Gly-BIMA) or on the N-termini (BIP-His-Ala-Gly-OEt, BIP-Ile-Ala-His-OMe). It was concluded that the imidazole nitrogen donor atoms of the bis(imidazol-2-yl) moiety are the primary metal binding sites, but the histidyl imidazole nitrogens in the side chains have also some effect on the stability and the coordination mode of the complexes. All ligands can coordinate tridentately to copper(II) ion forming a six-membered chelate and a macrochelate in the [CuL]2+ complexes, which results in a slight distortion in the coordination geometry of [CuL2]2+ complexes. The deprotonation and coordination of amide nitrogens, however, were not observed in any cases.

Abstract
Reaction of twenty aromatic/heterocyclic sulfonamides containing a free amino, imino, hydrazino or hydroxyl group, with tosyl isocyanate or 3,4-dichlorophenyl isocyanate afforded two series of derivatives containing arylsulfonylureido or diarylureido moieties in their molecule respectively. The new derivatives were assayed as inhibitors of three carbonic anhydrase (CA) isozymes, CA I, II (cytosolic forms) and IV (membrane-bound form). Potent inhibition was observed against all three isozymes but especially against CA I, which is generally 10-75 times less susceptible to inhibition by the classical sulfonamides in clinical use as compared to the other major red cell isozyme, CA II, or the membrane-bound one, CA IV. The derivatives obtained from tosyl isocyanate were generally more potent than the corresponding ones obtained from 3,4-dichlorophenyl isocyanate. This is the first reported example of selective inhibition of CA I and might lead to more selective drugs/diagnostic agents from this class of pharmacologically relevant compounds.

Abstract
A series of N-cyanosulfonamides has been prepared by reaction of alkyl-, arylalkyl- and arylsulfonyl halides or sulfonic acid anhydrides with cyanamide, or by reaction of cyanogen bromide with sulfamide/sulfamic acid. Other compounds have been obtained from sulfenyl chlorides, acyl chlorides, or tosyl isocyanate and cyanamide. Inhibition of three carbonic anhydrase (CA) isozymes, hCA I, hCA II and bCA IV (h = human; b = bovine) with the prepared compounds has been investigated. Very good inhibitors, as well as compounds with moderate activity against these isozymes were found, depending on the R group at which the metal-coordinating moiety of the inhibitor molecule was attached. Compounds of the types RSNHCN and RCONHCN were much less active in inhibiting all the investigated isozymes as compared to the strong inhibitors possessing the general formula RSO2NHCN. Susceptibility to inhibition with the N-cyanosulfonamides was generally: hCA II > bCA IV >> hCA I. Spectroscopic studies on Co(II)-substituted hCA II proved that the new inhibitors directly bind to the metal ion within the enzyme active site, similarly to the classical inhibitors of the unsubstituted sulfonamide type.

Abstract
Two new tripodal peptide ligands with histidine side chains have been synthesized and were shown to form stable zinc(II) complexes. Their NMR and mass spectra indicate a structure that is analogous to the active center of carbonic anhydrase. Both the ligands and the zinc complexes were titrated potentiometrically in order to obtain the pKa values for the coordinated water of the zinc complexes; due to the low solubility of the complexes only estimates could be obtained.
