description

Many biomolecules are esterified with carbonic acid, phosphoric acid or sulphuric acid. The enzymes responsible for the hydrolytic cleavage of the esters are the carboxylester hydrolases, phosphoesterases and sulphatases. In addition to the phosphomonoesterases, we will also consider the phosphodiesterases and nucleases that are specific for cAMP and cGMP, as well as the ATPases that cleave phosphoric acid anhydride bonds. The ion-transporting ATPases will be discussed together with comparative biochemical data on ion channels. The chapter ends with a discussion of carboanhydrases.
