Carbonic anhydrase is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of carbon dioxide to bicarbonate ion (Section 2.2). It is a metalloenzyme, with Zn2 +coordinated at the active site by three histidine side chains. Propose a mechanism for the reaction.
The anti-obesity drug orlistat works by irreversibly inhibiting pancreatic lipase, an enzyme responsible for the hydrolysis of triacylglycerols in the intestines, so they are excreted without metabolism. Inhibition occurs by reaction of orlistat with a serine residue of the enzyme, forming a covalently bound, inactive enzyme product. Draw the structure of the product formed during inhibition.
