The inhibition of the metalloenzyme carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) with dithiothreitol, 2-mercaptoethanol, tris(carboxyethyl) phosphine (reducing agent frequently added to enzyme assay buffers) and threitol has been investigated. The agents were very weak inhibitors of isozymes CA II and CA IX, but unexpectedly, strongly influenced the binding of the low nano-molar sulfonamide inhibitor acetazolamide (5-acetamido-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-sulfonamide). Acetazolamide affinity for all investigated CAs diminished orders of magnitude with increasing concentrations of these agents in the assay system. DTT and similar derivatives should not be added to the assay buffers used in monitoring CA activity/inhibition, as they lead to under-estimation of the binding constants, by a mechanism probably involving the formation of ternary complexes.
