Abstract
Quantum molecular similarity measures are used to analyze the variatio n of geometric and electronic structure of the first shell in a simpli fied model of the carbonic anhydrase active site with metal substituti on. The experimental fact showing that the native zinc enzyme and the cobalt-substituted enzyme are comparably active is well reproduced by our calculations. This result encourages use of quantum molecular simi larity measures as a powerful tool in molecular engineering.
