Improving Reactivity Against Target Organothiophosphates via Active-Site Directed Mutagenisis of a Bacterial Phosphotriesterase
(2013-01-17)Phosphotriesters, also known as organophosphates (OP), represent a class of toxic compounds first synthesized in Germany. Enzymatic removal of harmful insecticides and breakdown products is a promising alternative to ... -
Investigation of the mechanism of phosphotriesterase: characterization of the binuclear metal active site by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy
(2009-05-15)Phosphotriesterase (PTE) from Pseudomonas diminuta is a zinc metalloenzyme found in soil bacteria capable of organophosphate hydrolysis at rates approaching the diffusion controlled limit. Interest in PTE for degradation ...
