Abstract
The Zn(II) ion in the active site of carbonic anhydrase can be removed by complexation with 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylate (dipicolinate). The kinetics of Zn(II) removal can be followed by two methods. In the standard experiment (suitable for students in biophysical chemistry, biochemistry, or instrumental analysis), aliquots of the reaction mixture are withdrawn at suitable times and tested for the residual enzymatic activity (p-nitrophenyl acetate hydrolysis). In an optional experiment (special project or for students in radiochemistry), the carbonic anhydrase is labeled with 65Zn. Aliquots of the reaction mixture are withdrawn and filtered to separate the liberated 65Zn, which is detected using either a liquid scintillation counter or a gamma counter.

David H. Hamilton , Erin E. Battin , Ashley Lawhon and Julia L. BrumaghimJournal of Chemical Education2009 86 (8), 969Using Proteins in a Bioinorganic Laboratory Experiment: Iron Loading and Removal from Transferrin
David H. Hamilton , Erin E. Battin , Ashley Lawhon and Julia L. BrumaghimJournal of Chemical Education2009 86 (8), 969With the increasing availability of metalloproteins it is now possible to incorporate them into bioinorganic laboratory experiments. Thus, we have developed a laboratory experiment where students use UV–vis spectroscopy to determine the rate of iron ...

Peihong Liang , Bhavin Adhyaru , Wright L. Pearson and Kathryn R. WilliamsJournal of Chemical Education2006 83 (2), 294Students determine the binding constant of estradiol to bovine serum albumin using 3H-labeled estradiol. The estradiol is equilibrated with excess BSA, and subsequently a small fraction (ca. 1%) of the unbound hormone is extracted using solid-phase ...
