Carbonic Anhydrase Coatings

• The limiting factor in CO2 elimination is physiological, since over 90% of CO2 in blood is carried as HCO3- (bicarbonate)
  
  
• Carbonic anhydrase (CA) catalyzes the dehydration of HCO3- to CO2
  
  
• Enhanced CO2 removal can be realized through CA coatings for Hollow Fiber Membranes
