Carbonic anhydrase is an enzyme found in many living organisms that helps speed up a chemical reaction involved in the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into bicarbonate ions and protons. Full definition
A micromotor covered with the enzyme carbonic anhydrase zips through water rapidly converting dissolved carbon dioxide to the bicarbonate ion, which can then be precipitated as calcium carbonate. (foresight.org)
Children on carbonic anhydrase inhibitor medications (for example, topiramate or zonisamide) may have increased risk of excess ketosis and metabolic acidosis on commencing ketogenic therapy (2). (matthewsfriends.org)
Risk may be higher with long - term treatment (12) and concurrent use of carbonic anhydrase inhibitors such as topiramate or zonisamide (24). (matthewsfriends.org)
