Abstract excerpt
Methods to measure resistance to inhibition by organophosphorus toxicants (OP) for mutants of butyrylcholinesterase (EC 3.1.1.8; BChE) and acetylcholinesterase (EC 3.1.1.7; AChE) enzymes were devised. Wild-type cholinesterases were completely inhibited by 0.1 mM echothiophate or 0.001 mM diisopropylfluorophosphate, but human BChE mutants G117H, G117D, L286H, and W231H and snake AChE mutant HFQT retained activity....
