Abstract excerpt
Annually thousands of people die or suffer from organophosphate (pesticide) poisoning. In order to remove these toxic compounds from the environment, the use of enzymes as bioremediators has been proposed. We report here a Ser127Ala mutant based on the enzyme glycerophosphodiesterase (GpdQ) from Enterobacter aerogenes. The mutant, with improved metal binding abilities, has been immobilized using glutaraldehyde on...
