Abstract excerpt
Selected mutagenesis of acetylcholinesterase (AChE; EC 3.1.1.7) may enable one to develop more effective scavenging agents in which AChE itself, in combination with an oxime, will complete a catalytic cycle of hydrolysis of the organophosphate by rapid conjugation followed by enhanced nucleophile-mediated hydrolysis of the phosphonyl enzyme conjugate. Through enlargement of the active site gorge of mouse AChE by...
