Rational design to enhance the catalytic activity of acetylcholinesterase and mitigate trichlorfon toxicity in vitro

Abstract excerpt

Trichlorfon (TCF) is a widely used organophosphate pesticide whose inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) results in neurotoxicity and significant biosafety risks. Addressing these concerns requires effective strategies to mitigate TCF-induced toxicity and safeguard exposed organisms. In this study, we explored the potential of a catalytic activity enhanced Culex pipiens AChE mutant to mitigate TCF-induced...
