Acetazolamide
Acetazolamide is a chemical compound used as a laboratory reagent. It functions as a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, which is a class of enzymes involved in various physiological processes. The core function of acetazolamide is to inhibit the activity of carbonic anhydrase enzymes, which can be utilized in various research and analytical applications.

Example 6
Anti-CA IX scFvs that are epitope mapped to the CA domain are able to block enzymatic activity. This is an important anti-tumor biological property of the antibodies that is distinct from their retargeting capacity. To evaluate the ability of anti-CA IX scFvs to block carbonic anhydrase activity, an assay is established to measure carbonic anhydrase activity of the CA IX paramagnetic proteoliposomes using established methods (Brion, 1988; Dodgson, 1991). In brief, the velocity of the reaction CO2+H2O ↔H2CO3 is measured by the time required for acidification of carbonate buffer in CO2 atmosphere, detected with phenol read as a pH indicator (Zavada, 1997). The reaction proceeds even in absence of the enzyme, with to=control time (this is set at 60 sec). Carbonic anhydrase reduces the time of acidification to t; one unit of the enzyme activity reduces the time to one half of control time: t/to=1. The CA IX paramagnetic proteoliposomes will be washed in PBS, resuspended in 1 mM carbonic buffer, pH 8.0. Acetazolamide (Sigma) serves as a positive control for inhibition of CA activity. Thus it is demonstrated that a purified anti-CA IX scFvs, in a dose dependent manner, blocks the CA activity of the proteoliposomes.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
